About This Genogram
A three-generation genogram illustrating the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of sickle cell disease. Both parents are carriers with sickle cell trait (HbAS). Among their three children, one has sickle cell disease (HbSS), one is a carrier (HbAS), and one is unaffected (HbAA). Extended family members show the distribution of carriers across maternal and paternal lines, demonstrating how the trait can be present without symptoms for generations.
