Sickle cell disease is a common genetic condition that affects the function of adult hemoglobin. It has a high prevalence in people with African, Middle Eastern, and West Indian ancestry. Any pregnant woman who reports a high-risk ethnicity should be screened with hemoglobin electrophoresis, which is highly accurate in detecting carriers of sickle cell trait. Many reproductive carrier screening genetic panels also include screening for sickle cell carrier status.
