Pour qu’un enfant soit atteint d’anémie à hématies falciformes, il faut que ses deux parents lui aient transmis le gène de l’hémoglobine S. Si un seul parent lui transmet le gène, l’enfant sera lui aussi porteur du gène fautif, mais il ne souffrira pas de cette maladie. 1, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mie%20%C3%A0%20h%C3%A9maties%20falciformes
