Sickle cell disease is Inherited, meaning that it runs in families. People who have sickle cell disease inherit two faulty hemoglobin genes, called hemoglobin S — one from each parent.
A person has sickle cell trait when the hemoglobin S gene is inherited from only one parent and a normal hemoglobin gene — hemoglobin

A — is inherited from the other.
