This test screens for sickle cell trait (carrier status) and sickle cell disease using hemoglobin electrophoresis. Sickle cell trait carriers typically have no symptoms but can pass the gene to children. Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped, leading to pain crises, anemia, and organ damage. Screening is especially important for people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian descent.
