| Abstract: | DNA samples from 345 Black children, aged 0-18 years with SS, SC and Sβ+Thal were tested with restriction endonucleases and α or ζ globin DNA probes. A -3.7 kb type of α-Thal-2 (or -α/) was found in 34% with -α/αα and 4% with -α/-α (gene frequency= 0.20). None had the -4.2 kb type of α-Thal-2. The incidence of a-Thal-2 was the same among SS, SC and Sβ+Thal patients. |
