People with sickle cell trait are called carriers meaning they can pass on the sickle cell gene to their children. Additionally this means sickle cell trait cannot develop into sickle cell disease (SCD).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically those with sickle cell trait do not experience the health complications as seen in sickle cell disease. However, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in rare cases people with sickle cell trait may experience some health complications and there is evolving research uncovering the link between sickle cell trait and its potential complications due to certain triggers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More sickle cell trait resources below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"sickle-cell-trait-right
