## Abstract The diseases commonly confused with sickle cell anemia include sickle cellβ‐thalassemia in which synthesis of β^A^‐chains are completely suppressed (HbS‐β^O^‐thalassemia). We obtained hematologic measurements and studied globin biosynthesis in five patients with this disorder and compar

We have analyzed the hemoglobin abnormalities in nearly 50 Albanian patients with a significant hemoglobinopathy and included 37 relatives in this study. Sickle cell anemia (SS) is a common disorder; all 15 sickle cell anemia patients had the complications expected for this disease. The beta S haplo
To compare the features of sickle-cell anemia in Brazil with those in other locales, we studied the effects of the p-globin-like gene cluster haplotype and a-thalassemia upon the clinical and hematological features in 85 patients. The distribution of haplotypes differed from that in the United State
In 113 black American adults with sickle cell anemia (HbSS), we examined nine polymorphic restriction sites, including the Xmnl site 5' to the Gy gene, to see whether haplotype is related to the level of HbF and the proportion of G-y chains or if it influences the hematological and clinical features
