A member asked:
Are there any symptoms of sickle cell trait in babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: If it were not for the newborn screening done in all states we would not pick up these kids in childhood. These kids have pretty normal lives. If/ when their parents are aware they carry trait, we would look for it at some point but there would not be any urgency beyond the desire to know.
