A Twitter user identified as ‘The Matchmaker’ has shared his conversation with BBNaija’s Laycon in 2017.
This chat reveals more about BBNaija Laycon’s SC genotype. In his chat, Laycon had revealed to the Twitter user that he is SC. The BBNaija star went on to educate The Matchmaker about genotype .
This was after the musician-housemate revealed his genotype while discussing with his fellow housemates.
In the post by the matchmaker, Laycon approached the Twitter user for matchmaking in 2017 but he ended up educating him about his SC genotype.
The Matchmaker did not delete his conversation with the BBNaija star as he shared it to also educate others on what SC genotype really means.
The chat read:
“SC is a genotype, although pretty rare. The most common genotypes are the AA, AS, SS genotypes but there are also the AC, SC, and CC genotype. All AA, AC, AS are strong genotype but SS, SC, and CC arent… They’re poor.
“However, SS is worse. I don’t know much about CC since I haven’t had any reason to find out more about it.
But SC is more like a carrier of Sickle Cell. But in most of them, the sickle cell are dormant, unlike SS where they are active.
Most SC people rarely experience the symptoms that SS people experience. However, close to 20 per cent of SC individuals experience it.
I’m not one of those 20 percent. I’m perfectly healthy and I have never experienced any symptoms of sickle cell neither have I been treated for it.”
