As good as it is to get married, the joy of marriage may not last beyond few years of having a Child or Children as the case may be if the problem of wrong genotype match arises.
This is so because, the case of sickle cell anemia can turn marriage to a journey full of sorrows. The problem associated with giving birth to a Child with Sickle cell Anemia can be so overwhelming to the point of making marriage difficult and sorrowful.
The challenges of Sickle Cell Anemia is associated with genotype. Genotype is a genetic make-up of an individual.
There are some genotypes that are not compatible in marriage but unfortunately, many singles getting married does not take their time to know the genotype of the person they intend marrying.
This nonchalant attitude often causes many unforeseen hardship, uncontrollable tears and waste of financial resources in marriage.
INCOMPATIBLE GENOTYPE
-AS+AS
-AS+SS
-AS+AC
-AC + AC
-SS + SS
COMPATIBLE GENOTYPES
-AA+AA
-AA+AS
-AA+AC
-AA+SS
When any of this incompatible genotypes get married, they will give birth to a Child with sickle cell who will end up as a sicklier.
Children with SS genotype require special medical attention which drains money from the parents and such a child may have retarded growth and are liable to die young no matter how you try.
The agony , pressure, and emotional trauma such a Child brings into the family can make the parent weary of one another thereby breaking the marriage.
So many couple that find themselves in this case would have avoided it if only they had gone for a test about their genotype status.
A recent report states that 75% of World Sickle Cell Anemia cases is found in Nigeria. Singles should decide to stop adding to this record as potential husbands and wives by going for a genotype test before walking down the aisle.
Never underestimate this golden counsel thinking love conquers all. No, it goes beyond that. Go to the hospital and ask a Doctor to show you couples battling for the survival of a Child Suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia in order to learn practical lessons from them.
Once again, don’t say ‘’yes I do’’ until you have confirmed your genotype compatibility.
