SICKLE CELL

In the United States, sickle cell disease
is most prevalent among African Americans.
About one in 12 African Americans and about
one in 100 Hispanic Americans carry the
sickle cell trait, less have the disease.
The disease is known by an abnormal, sickle
shape of the red blood cells. Be sure to be
tested for this as well as other diseases.
