Question: What happens if you have hemaglobin C trait and Sickle cell trait!?
Answers:
Hemoglobin C (HbC) and Sickle Cell disease are caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene which reduces the normal plasticity of host erythrocytes!. The sickling is enhanced in people with Hb S disease, and both conditions contribute to anemia (which leads to a reduced capacity of carrying oxygen around the body!.)

This disease is chronic and lifelong, and though individuals are most often well, there can be complications that threaten the life of the person, and therefore should be monitored by a capable doctor!.
