We have studied haplotype of  S chromosome and ␣-globin gene status in 534 patients (255 adults and 279 children of whom 159 neonates) from Guadeloupe with various sickle cell-related conditions, namely SS (n = 298), SC (n = 170), S--thal (n = 56), and other rare forms (n = 10). Haplotype data on
Sickle cell anemia and ␣-thalassemia have a heterogeneous distribution in Venezuela with a high frequency in the coastal area (sea level) and few cases in the mountains. Most of our population is an ethnic admixture of Europeans (Spaniards colonists), Africans (slaves), and Amerindians. The purpose
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
Expression of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) is under polygenic control involving determinants both linked and unlinked to the beta-globin gene cluster on chromosome 11. Variations in the DNase I-hypersensitive site 2 of the locus control region (LCR-HS2) and a C --> T change at position -158 from the Ggam
