Do causians get sickle cell desiese?

Sickle cell disease primarily affects individuals of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian ancestry due to its genetic origins. While it is less common in Caucasians, it is not impossible for them to have the sickle cell trait or disease, especially if they have ancestry from affected regions. The disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene, which can occur in any ethnic group, though its prevalence varies.
