In the sickle cell anemia case study it involved two affected parents that were carriers of sickle cell anemia and were worried about their child who was developing worrisome symptoms. The child was exhibiting weakness and fragility that was not normal with newborn babies so they decided to bring her to a doctor that diagnosis the child with sickle cell anemia. It was then discovered that both parents are both carriers and should see a genetic counselor before thinking about having another child. The case study showed that it was likely that the parents would have another child affected with the disease. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease where the blood cells have a crescent shape and causes shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, and unusual coldness in the hands and feet. The disease can lead to a series of other problems such as Acute Chest Syndrome, Pulmonary Hypertension, Splenic Crisis, and even strokes can occur when someone is affected by the disease. It’s easily one of the most common genetic diseases and has yet to been cured.
