  • Sickle cell disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner when patients have 2 abnormal beta-globin genes and at least 1 of the beta-globin mutations is Hb S. Hb S can also be inherited with other mutations such as Hb C (Glu6Lys) or beta thalassemia, which results in a sickle phenotype. (medicalhomeportal.org)
