Why is Sickle Cell Anaemia only found in Black people?
A 1: This is a very common mis-conception. Sickle cell anaemia (sca) is not “only found in Black people”. White people in Greece, Sicily, Turkey, and their offspring around the world suffer from sickle cell anaemia (sca). In fact, the highest incidences of the sickle cell gene (S, for short) are not found in Africa; they are in India and Saudi Arabia [References 1 to 10].
