SICKLE CELL TESTING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM About Sickle Cell Trait: Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition of the oxygen-carrying protein, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. Approximately one in every 12 African-Americans has sickle cell trait (compared to approximately one in 2,000 to 12,000 white Americans). The gene for sickle cell trait is also present in individuals of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribbean and South / Central American ancestry. SCT is usually benign, but during intense, sustained exercise, hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the muscles may cause sickling of red blood cells (red blood cells changing from a normal disc shape to a sickle shape), which can accumulate in the bloodstream and logjam vessels, leading to collapse from the rapid breakdown of muscles starved of blood and oxygen. Over a seven year span, nine athletes participating in NCAA sports died as a complication of sickle cell trait. Sickle Cell Trait Screening: The NCAA mandates that all NCAA student-athletes have knowledge of their sickle cell trait status before the student-athlete participates in any intercollegiate athletics event, including strength and conditioning sessions, practices, competitions, etc. All newborns in the US are required to be screened for sickle cell and those records are kept on file. The Radford University Sports Medicine Department offers sickle cell trait screening in the form of a blood test to all student-athletes as part of the pre-participation examination process, however, please see the following statement. FALL SPORTS: It is required that new student-athletes participating in the fall sports of volleyball, soccer and cross country complete the steps to confirm their sickle cell trait status before reporting to campus in August to avoid delays in clearance for participation due to the turnaround time of the testing (minimum of 24 hours). Printed Name of Student Athlete Sport _ SSN (last 4 digits) I have been tested prior to arriving at Radford University and have provided the necessary documentation to satisfy the NCAA regulations (please attach the lab report). Test // Result I have been tested for sickle cell trait and I am awaiting the results from my physician (to be returned at a later date). I agree to screening for sickle cell trait upon arrival at Radford University. Test // Result SICKLE CELL TRAIT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Please read thoughtfully and carefully before signing. I understand and acknowledge that the NCAA and the Radford University Athletic Department mandate that all student-athletes have knowledge of their sickle cell trait status. Additionally, I have read and fully understand the aforementioned facts about sickle cell trait and sickle cell trait testing. I have had all questions that I may have regarding sickle cell trait and disease answered to my satisfaction. Student Athlete Signature Parent/Guardian Signature (if SA is under 18) Witness
