Modification in the frequency of Hb C and Hb S in Burkina Faso: an influence of migratory fluxes and improvement of patient health care.

Hemoglobin - 1 May 2002

Simpore Jacques, Pignatelli Salvatore, Barlati Sergio, Musumeci Salvatore

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) is relatively high in West Africa. In order to calculate the gene frequency of these hemoglobinopathies, 6619 students from 23 local schools in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa, and 2582 individuals living in five villages near Ouagadougou, all situated in Savanna, were studied. As expected, the gene frequency in the city schools was 0.111 for the betaC...
