Abstract excerpt

The clinical and haematological features of homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease were compared in 30 Greek and 310 Jamacian patients. Deletional alpha-thalassaemia, which modifies SS disease, is rare among Greek patients, so only Jamacian patients with four alpha-globin genes were included in the...
