1 in 20 from risk groups carries a trait for Sickle Cell Disorder.
The child of two carrier parents may inherit a full blown Sickle Cell Disorder.
These disorders have no cure and will affect every aspect of the child's life.
Before starting your family, a simple blood test can reveal if you're the one.

Sickle Cell Society
The Sickle Cell Society believes that every sickle cell sufferer has the right to quality care. This can only be achieved if funding is made available to educate health carers and other professionals about the condition. The Society aims to provide this.
The Society does not discriminate between the types of sickle cell disorders or the ethnic groups concerned. Both sexes are equally affected, and should have equal access to support and services in a confidential and sensitive environment.
We respect the views of every patient.
