| Abstract: | The number of α globin genes have been documented among 255 active SS patients under the age of 15 years. Ascertainment in the area served by our clinical program is 84%. The common -3.7 Kb α+ -Thalassemia (Th) had a gene frequency of 0.17. The incidence of homozygotes was 2.9%, and heterozyqotes 30.6%. These values are consistent with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. |
