Do all types of sickle cell disease have the same problems?
Yes, but most problems are more common and more severe in SS disease and sickle cell- betao thalassaemia and less common in SC disease and sickle cell- beta+ thalassaemia. Many people with SC disease and sickle cell- beta+ thalassaemia are so mildly affected that they never know that they have a disease and occasionally even SS disease may be very mild.
