[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he intentionally withhold it or did it just not come up, he didn't think about it until something made him think of it in the context of a conversation. Did he assume you knew as he has siblings / parents / family with sickle cell disease? How does he know he is a carrier of the gene? Is there sickle cell disease in his family? Did you ever discuss it?[/quote] OP here - His parents found out after routine newborn screening in the hospital after he was born. I'm not aware of any Sickle Cell disease in his family.[/quote] This isn't a routine newborn screening...so maybe he doesn't understand?[/quote] Every baby born in the US is screened for it at birth unless the parents decline the screening entirely. Many parents don't notice or remember it being done because they're not notified of the results unless there is an abnormality detected.[/quote]
