Are you telling me that AS and AC can't get SS..... I don't bliv.....Doctor in the house , where are you ?

that's an error. U can get sc from this combination which is a milder form Of Ss

There are errors in the post.
1 AC + AC - AA, AC, AC, CC.
2. AS + AC - AA,AC, AS, SC.
SC is atimes a mild SS

About two cases I know in Nigeria whereby both parents of AS gave birth to 4children with AA. This call for a research to know why but the technogical and financial needs are limiting it.
I think government need to come in.

ogunsbanjul:
With God even if SS marries SS the children will surely be AA.

You funny Sha o,because God said He'll protect you does not mean you should go and stand in Front of a speeding truck.

SC ,which will be sickler

flyca:
This AC genotype seems to be a recent development. I'm not sure I heard of it in Primary and Secondary schools? Then we were only taught AA, AS and SS.

It is not a recent developments. It is not common. That is why we don't hear about it. Also, the effect is like that of S, so most times, it is confused with the S

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:
I thought they were sharing money on this thread.

StrongandMighty:

How can u get SS when there is only one S? Common sense

AC is also a Carrier of the sickle cell gene so if an AC marry an AS they will have a baby with sickle cell

feldido:
But don't rule out Rhesus Factor when considering marriage too

Not a big factor! Drugs can be given to counteract it immediately after delivery

I was told.my genenotype is AC.. I was like.. you mean?

Its nothing out of the ordinary for the 4children to be AA, same way they could all be AS or SS or even mixed.

The probability favored them thats all.

Can u expatiate please

mfm04622:

AS + AC = SC which is equivalent to SS

i was really amazed Few years back when I did my genotype... #Proudly AC

SINCE AM AA, I WILL STILL MARRY AA TO MAINTAIN AA IN MY FAMILY.

Laido:


Not really, but they are not just that much compare to the others. I have 2 friends with Ac Geno. There own major problem is Bone pain

I am AC and I don't have bone pain but a single mosquito bite always give me malaria.

You're a FOOL
Why don't you marry an SS? Idiot

Okay, I know that AC is basically like AS/SS, depending on the carrier.
But WTF is CC

zz

You are very wrong do not put God to text

kokaneprodigy:

I mean Rhesus Factor ooo,not sickle cell.

Rhesus Factor is when a mother and the child have different R factor. This happens when the parents have different R factors and the child inherits that of the dad. During first pregnancy, there is usually no problem. During second pregnancy, if the child also have a different R factor, it can lead to the death of the mother, child or both. So the solution is an injection that is given immediately after the delivery of the child. So it is not a big issue now

chiangwar:

Bleep God
Why don't you marry an SS and try it?

Gangster1ms:
Not entirely correct in terms of the arrangement.. i know two AS that got married and their first born was SS. So much suffering the poor guy is passing through

Una don com again.
D arrangement dnt count.

Its probability

There is 0.25 chance for each to occur per pregnancy.

I don't believe in genotype blabla

tonio2wo:
Actin congress don join genotype?

Which one be AC abeg?

AC and SC are rare haemoglobin genotype, they are abnormal genotype.
Walk into any of the hospitals, ask any of the medical personnel to educate you on it.

Gangster1ms:

Arrangement doesn't matter, anyone can come first.

rossyc:

Impossible.

Impossible is nothing babe. You can use your free time to read more on de novo mutation.

StrongandMighty:

The last one was

AC + AC = AA AC AC SS

Where did the SS come from?

If CC translates to SS the CS should be same.

Continue bro.

I am AC, when i was in secondary school and i asked my biology teacher that is there AC, he said No. Very funny he didn't know.

contigiency:
Very enlightening. But I don't understand the one called AC.

There is, I am AC, very rare, but the dangerous part of it is that you can only collect blood from AC which is very scarce and my junior brother is SC
