Well, sickle cell is an un-common disease so I would say yes. If you think you have it, bring it up to a doctor! I am not sure what the effects are but I am a nurse and have not heard of it.

Yes, an adult can be diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. The condition is usually detected in childhood through newborn screening or during genetic testing later in life. Adults who have not been previously diagnosed may present with symptoms such as anemia, pain crises, or complications related to sickle cell disease.
