Know Your Genotype
What is genotype?
🛑Genotype is the type of haemoglobin genes a person inherits from their parents. Common types include AA, AS, and SS.
📌AA: Normal haemoglobin genotype.
📌AS: Sickle cell trait. The person usually does not have sickle cell disease but can pass the sickle gene to their children.
📌SS: Usually associated with sickle cell disease.
❤️ Why is genotype important?
Knowing your genotype helps you understand your health and make informed decisions, especially when planning a family.
For example, when AS × AS have a child, there is:
25% chance of AA
50% chance of AS
25% chance of SS
These chances apply to each pregnancy.
🔬 Don't assume your genotype get tested at a reliable laboratory.
Know your genotype. Know your options. Protect your future. ❤️
