Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a name for inherited blood disorders due to a change in the HBB gene . This change means your body makes red blood cells that become C-shaped (sickled) and stick together. SCD can cause episodes of severe pain and lead to life-threatening complications.

What would the RBCs of someone heterozygous for sickle cell anemia look like? Would half of the RBCs look normal, and the other half sickled? Or would all of the RBCs have slight deformation/sickling? Thanks!
Each cell has only 30-40% HbS, and so the polymer that causes the sickling doesn't usually occur.
