My little girl of 5yrs genotype is AC. What are the characteristics of AC?
The Haemoglobin phenotype 'AC' is one of the sickle cell traits. Another example in this category is 'AS'. It essentially means there is one normal blood 'cell'- A and an abnormal one- C.
People with AC phenotype like the AS live normal lives. The challenge is in their offsprings if an AC phenotype person chooses to marry someone of same or similar phenotypes.
In essence, AC marrying AS could produce offsprings with the sickle cell disease.
