There are many different types of sickle cell disease, but Hemoglobin SS, Hemoglobin SC, and Sickle Beta Thalassemia are the most common types of sickle cell disease. • Hemoglobin SS is homozygous sickle cell disease. The hemoglobin S gene is inherited from both parents. • Hemoglobin SC is heterozygous sickle cell disease. Hemoglobin S is inherited from one parent and hemoglobin C is inherited from the other parent. • Sickle Beta Thalassemia is heterozygous sickle cell disease. Hemoglobin S is inherited from one parent and the beta thalassemia gene is inherited from the other parent.
