[quote author=fsb]@ Emmion Sorry, its really been a long while since I read this thread, Its possible that your genotype has always been AC and that there were discrepancies with the second test results, One thing you must understand is that in terms of geographic distribution, the hemoglobin C allele is found at the highest frequencies in West Africa and it has been associated with protection against malaria. A good number of people have the C allele but are unaware of it. Also note that most people with the AC genotype show no symptoms, About your financee who is also AC, well, if you put the stats together as I explained in my earlier posts: For every child you'll have together, there is a 25% chance he/she will be AA, a 50% chance he/she will be AC and a 25% chance he/she would be CC. Again, please don't think that CC and SS are the same. THEY ARE NOT, and that is in capital letters, Anyone who tells you so, doesn't know CRAP. Sickle Cell Dsx is a whole chapter on its own and writing about it will make this extremely lengthy, @ mazaje You can't even begin to compare the differences in severity between CC and SS disease, Symptoms of Hemoglobin C dsx (CC) Most people do not have symptoms. Occasionally, jaundice may occur. Complications of Hemoglobin C dsx Sometimes, they may experience the following: Cholelithiasis (gall stones that may require treatment) Splenomegaly (big spleen) Angloid streaks (causing poor vision) Aplastic crises (due to viral infection): episode of severe anemia Treatment There is no treatment. Folic acid supplementation is required to help the body with red blood cell production and improve symptoms of anemia. Prognosis Note that unlike the Hemoglobin S dsx (SS), pxts with Hemoglobin C dsx have a normal life expectancy, Before I forget, what about SC genotype? Please note the following: AA: normal pxts AS: don't show any symptoms SS: sickle cell disease (sicklers) AC: don't show any symptoms CC: described above SC? This condition is associated with recurrent anemia (breakdown of red cells in the blood vessels) and pain crises (vaso-occlusive crises). Some may also experience aseptic necrosis of the thigh bone (femur). Summary is that it is bad, I do hope all the above helps, Regards, fsb, [If a child is CC what can one do. Please help 3 Likes |

Well. Hmmm!!! I guess I'll set out three month to weep. With all these, its a disaster to proceed. Wonder if I can survive this. Everything was going so well. <3 <3 <3 . Or should I gamble it? :-( its hard to find a good woman these days. Maybe I should gamble it. :-| |

Emmion: @ FSB, This is a 2008 thread, but I just want to let you know that at least one of you parents is AC. They both cannot be AA and you have AC. If you have not married the lady, I will urge you to take that leap of faith and marry her. But if She is AS, then you may look elsewhere. CC,SC and Sickle cell BetaThal are the mildest form of Sickle Cell diseases. Goodluck. |

Ac highly resistant to malaria but should not be exposed to mosquitoes |
Re: Please Explain What Genotype AC Is by Abali1(m): 9:18pm On Jun 19, 2013 |
myGoddey: Ac highly resistant to malaria but should not be exposed to mosquitoesI think your post is confusing. On the one hand you said AC is highly resistant to Malaria and on the other hand you are giving a warning that AC persons shouldn't be exposed to mosquitoes (an agent of malaria if I may say so). |
Re: Please Explain What Genotype AC Is by myGoddey: 12:49pm On Jun 20, 2013 |
Abali1:Wat i meant was AA will treat malaria almost every time whether exposed unduly to mosquitoes or not but AC stays 3 to 4 yrs at a stretch without malaria treatment also when AC is unduly exposed to mosquitoes, malaria is usually more deadly cos the symptoms they manifest when they have malaria is usually very scary! guess u understand now? am talking from experience cos i am AC 1 Like |

It's not a blood type, it's a form of hemoglobin that's not quite right. The blood types have to do with antigens on the surface of red blood cells - that's your A, B, O typing. There's a totally different thing going on with the hemoglobinopathies. Normal hemoglobins are A, A2 and F. F is fetal hemoglobin, and we lose that. There are a slew of abnormal hemoglobins, and these are inherited traits. The most well known is hemoglobin S, which is sickle cell. Some of the other variants cause a condition called thalassemia. Hemoglobin C is one of the abnormal hemoglobins. Because you get one gene from each parent, you have two genes for hemoglobin. You can get any variety of normal and abnormal genes, so we denote what you have by the letters. "AC", then, means one normal gene and one Hb C gene. That causes no clinical problems, but if you have it, you can pass the C gene on to your children. If your spouse also has the C gene, you could have kids with Hb C disease, which will cause an enlarged spleen and mild anemia. You can find out WAY more than you want to know here: http://sickle.bwh.harvard.edu/hemoglobinopathy.html |

This is very informative. I was about creating a similar thread only to notice that this one has been in existence but never made it to front page. I stumbled on a patient yesterday who was discovered to be AC for the very first time and she didn't know what it means because it is not as common as other regular genotypes known to us...lalasticlala, kindly move this to front page. Thank u |
