Yes, a child can be born with sickle cell disease if one parent is a sickle cell carrier and the other parent is normal. In this case, there is a 25% chance that the child will inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene, resulting in sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell anemia is also known as sickle cell disease or sickle cell disorder.
A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
People who inherit one sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait. This means they carry the gene but do not typically have symptoms of sickle cell disease. It is important for individuals with sickle cell trait to be aware of their status for proper medical management and genetic counseling.
