After the mutation responsible for this disease was discovered in 1979, the U.S. Air Force required African American applicants to test for the mutation. It dismissed 143 applicants because they were carriers, even though none of them had the condition. It eventually withdrew the requirement, but only after a trainee filed a lawsuit.

Overview

Sickle cell disease is currently a disease for which newborn screening is available, mandated, and routinely performed in the United States.[1]

Screening

Screening for sickle cell disease was first offered in 1975 but had not been performed routinely.[2] By the 1980s, most states were performing newborn screening, based on evidence showing that early administration of antibiotics in patients with known sickle cell disease improved outcomes.[3] People who are known carriers of the disease often undergo genetic counseling before they have a child. A test to see if an unborn child has the disease takes either a blood sample from the unborn or a sample of amniotic fluid. Since taking a blood sample from a fetus has risks, the latter test is usually used. Currently, all 50 states in the USA require newborn screening for sickle cell disease.[1] It is important to note that there can be false-positive and false-negative results with newborn screening. This may cause overdiagnosis or underdiagnosis, respectively, of sickle-cell disease. The preferred test for screening is haemoglobin electrophoresis. [4] Multiple Point Of Care(POC) screening tests like Sickle scan, [5] HemoType SC [6] have been developed to be used in resource-limited setting with promising results.
