Hb D-Punjab [β121(GH4)Glu→Gln] is prevalent in the northern states of the Indian subcontinent. Due to inadequate data from Asian countries, the origin and spread of the Hb D-Punjab mutation are uncertain. In a study of sickle cell hemoglobinopathies, we detected the Hb D-Punjab mutation in 25 subjects from 11 unrelated Agharia families. Twelve cases were Hb S [β6(A3)Glu→Val]/Hb D-Punjab compound heterozygotes and...
