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
To examine the effects of unusual or atypical -globin gene cluster haplotypes on the hematological features and Hb F levels of sickle cell anemia, we studied African Americans who had an atypical or Cameroon haplotype chromosome in association with a typical haplotype. We identified over 20 atypica
