The clinical, hematological, and molecular features of 81 patients with Hb S-p-thalassemia and relatives from 76 unrelated families are reported. We analyzed the p-thalassemia mutations and the ps haplotypes in all patients and detected 6 different p-thalassemia alleles: codon 39 (C-tT) (39 cases),
The gene frequency of the most important hemoglobin (Hb) abnormalities is reported in a population of 171 Togolese newborns. Hb phenotypes, hematological parameters, and the more frequently described alpha-gene deletions were analyzed. Structural abnormalities of beta-globin were observed in 35.7% o
