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.
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.
Sickle cell trait is when a person carries one copy of the sickle cell gene and usually does not have symptoms, while sickle cell disease is when a person inherits two copies of the sickle cell gene and can experience severe symptoms such as anemia, pain crises, and organ damage. Sickle cell trait carriers are generally healthy, while those with sickle cell disease require ongoing medical management.
