Symptoms

This is generally felt to be a benign condition, but with occasional rare complications. I changed the section to better reflect this. Andrew73 (talk) 13:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, your affirmation about anaerobic exercise-related complications should be referred to any study or observation. I previously thought that all kind of activity could be involved in adverse events in sickle cell trait carriers. Did you have any idea about mechanisms involved that allow you to say that "exercise-related complications can occured, especially in response to anaerobic exertion" (or something like that) ?

The phrase "even though he had one copy of the gene" is incorrect. Taubenberger had two copies of the gene, just like the rest of us, in almost every cell. You're confusing genes with alleles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.190.87 (talk) 16:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

sickle cell

what is the prcentage of caucasions getiing the sickle cell trait or anemia?— — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.162.201.241 (talk) 21:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

In 2016, it was estimated that in the US, "about 9% blacks (3 million people), 0.2% Caucasians, and 1.5% babies in USA have" sickle cell trait (The Lancet). The CDC's current estimates state that 1/365 Black children and 1/16300 Hispanic children are born with sickle cell disease/anemia with minimal reporting on the prevalence of Caucasians because it is even lower BluePenguin18 🐧 ( 💬 ) 19:41, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
