The most common types of genotypes in our region.

Yan aji, we cannot afford to not know our genotypes, those with Sickle cell disease go through unimaginable pain, often worse than those with SS genotype (Sickle cell anemia)
Having children with Sickle cell disease takes a toll on parents and has fractured a lot of marriages, please know your genotype today to avoid painful situations for your children and yourselves.
Beyond this, those suffering from Sickle cell are humans like you and me, we need to stop the stigma, ayi ta nuna mutum da baki ana ai wannan sikila ne, ko kuma a ga mutum siriri, sai a ce jibe shi kaman wani sikila.
Having Sickle cell does not make a person useless, there are a lot of people with the disease who have lived long and are thriving as Doctors, engineers, lawyers, artists, and doing amazing things.
