Can interracial children get sickle cell anemia?
It could be possible, but quite unlikely. The gene is of African origin. Here is how the odds work: 1. If only one parent has the trait, there is a 50% chance that a child of theirs would also just have the trait without having the full-blown disease. 2. If two parents has the trait, then any children would be 25% like to not have the trait at all, 50% likely to be a carrier, and 25% likely to have the full-blown disease. 3. If a person has the disease and the other parent doesn't have the trait at all, then all resulting children would carry the trait but not have the disease. 4. If a person with sickle cell anemia has children with a carrier, then half the children would have the disease, and half would have just the trait. 5. Assuming 2 people with sickle cell anemia are alive long enough to have children together, all their children would have it. So back to the question. If one parent was White and the other was Black with the sickle cell trait and not the full-blown disease, then they would not have children with the disease, but roughly half would carry it. But if the Black parent was born with the disease (both genes), then none of the children would have it, but all would be carriers. But typically, neither parent would even have the trait, and so none of the children would get it or carry it. Now, lets suppose that two interracial persons produce children together. If by chance they both carried the trait, then the odds are 1 in 4 of having the disease, 1 in 4 of not even carrying it, and a 50% chance of being a carrier.

Can you spread sickle cell?
Sickle cell is not a germ, it's a disease! The spreading of this disease occurs when two people carry the trait of sickle cell in their genetic makeup and they have children. The odds of any child born to parents who carry the trait are different each time. 50% can be born with just trait, 1 out of 4 will be born with Sickle Cell Anemia and 1 out of 4 will be born without anything. Then there are varied levels of Sickle Cell, there's Anemia (SS), Disease (SC). it is heredity
Can white people get sickle cell anemia?
1.It is particularly common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa; Spanish-speaking regions (South America, Cuba, Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy. In the Unites States, it affects around 72,000 people, most of whose ancestors come from Africa. The disease occurs in about 1 in every 500 African-American births and 1 in every 1000 to 1400 Hispanic-American births. About 2 million Americans, or 1 in 12 African Americans, carry the sickle cell trait. The below text is partially incorrect: According to pubmed (a government run medical website) only 2 white people have been diagnosed with sickle cell. It was caused by a random mutation in their genes. For a white person to get sickle cell they must have a 1 in a trillion genetic mutation because there is no genetic history of sickle cell in white people. No genetic history of sickle cell means that it can not be inherited, it can only come from a mutation. Black people have much higher odds of having sickle cell because there is a genetic history of sickle cell in Africans. This means that it can be inherited from the parents. Sickle cell originated in three independent blood lines in Africa and one blood line in India 70,000-150,000 years ago. If you have sickle cell it means you are a descendent of one of these blood lines. 2. i am white and having sickle cell trait and alot off people around me having sickle cell disease
