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

## Abstract The in vitro synthesis of hemoglobin chains was investigated in 34 scikle cell anemia (SS) patients and five patients with Hb S‐β^o^‐thalassemia. Incubations were made for 30 minutes and for 120 minutes. Hematological and family data were also obtained. Although the 30‐minute α/non‐α to
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
Spleen function was studied in a group of 20 Kuwaiti SS patients (aged 2-12 years), using 99mTc-labeled tin colloid scintigraphy. They were screened for the alpha-thalassemia determinants which are prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula [-alpha (3.7 kb) deletion, alpha2-globin gene polyadenylation signa
