Tests & Controls for Sickle Cell Trait

Sickle Cell Screening with Sickledex and Sickle-chex

Sickle Cell Screening Overview

Sickle cell anemia is a type of disease which is also called sickle cell disease and Haemaglobin SS disease. This is due to the fact that it is caused by mutated hemoglobin called Hemoglobin S.  Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait. This means that in order for a child to suffer both parents must carry the trait.
