Associated Patterns of Disease
The above Pedigree for Sickle Cell Anemia indicates that James has recessive traits associated with Sickle Cell Anemia, which is not present in his wife, Lindy. However, these recessive traits were passed to their children Mackenzie, Marion, and Alex. Alex and his spouse (Alexis) have the recessive traits, which implies that their daughters could have attributes or have Sickle Cell Anemia. From the Pedigree, it’s evident that their daughter Sasha has sickle cell anemia, and their deceased daughter Shirley had recessive traits.
Cody and valentine also have recessive traits; hence their son Madison and their daughter Nicky have sickle cell anemia; however, their son Wyatt recessive traits. The same case applies to Sidney and Shirley; their daughter Paige and their son spencer both have Sickle Cell Anemia; on the other hand, Shelby has the recessive traits. Ultimately the Pedigree indicates that a person CANNOT get the Sickle Cell Anemia unless the parents have the recessive trait. Here it reveals that, until both parents have the recessive trait, somebody will not get Sickle Cell Anemia. If one parent has the trait, and the other doesn’t, either the children will still or not have the trait. If both parents have the trait only a child will carry the phenotype, or they might have Sickle Cell Anemia.
Client education pertinent to the data findings
The training for clients ensures clients are well briefed of their health. It could mean teaching them about the adverse effects of sickle cell anemia, reviewing their diagnosis, looking over possible treatment strategies, or looking at ways to avoid health deterioration of their disease. A certain level of awareness could lower the anxiousness of a patient and could also build trust between the patient and the medical provider; moreover, an increased understanding puts clients in an excellent position to make informed health care decisions. If a patient is very well-educated on the condition, they will undoubtedly comprehend what objectives they ought to work towards to improve their health. In this case, educated patients will be more determined to achieve specific health-care goals, which in turn will improve their overall health faster and more efficiently.
Possible indications for genetic and genomic services
When signs and symptoms indicate anemia or irregular blood count (CBC) results and when patients are suspected of having sickle cell anemia or trait. The genetic carriers of SCD are individuals with sickle cell trait. They have no symptoms and are unable to acquire SCD, but may still be able to pass it over to their offspring. Anyone with the trait may have a higher risk of other complications, particularly unexpected death from exercises. Therefore when signs and symptoms indicate anemia or irregular blood count (CBC) results, it is a possible indication for genetic and genomic services.
