## Abstract There are at least four distinct African and one Asian chromosomal backgrounds (haplotypes) on which the sickle cell mutation has arisen. Additionally, previous data suggest that the β^S^/Bantu haplotype is heterogeneous at the molecular level. Here, we report the presence of the ^A^γ −

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

Two population groups from Western India with a high prevalence of the ␤ S gene, one tribal (Valsad) and the other nontribal (Nagpur), were studied. The ␤ S gene frequency in both populations was similar (0.22 vs. 0.23), but not the clinical expression of sickle-cell anemia (SS): the sickle homozygo
