No, it doesn't.
If one has a mutated gene for hemoglobin from one parent only and a normal hemoglobin gene from the other (heterozygous), then one has increased resistance to malaria. However, if the abnormal gene is inherited from both parents (homozygous), then one has sickle cell disease.
My mum has sickle cell. And my adopted step-sister. I don't think my big bro has it, I think he's just anemic no sickle cell. My doctors are scared I'll give it puts me at risk for aneurysms.
