Frequency and clinical significance of erythrocyte genetic abnormalities in Omanis.

Journal of medical genetics - 1 May 1993

White J M, Christie B S, Nam D, Daar S, Higgs D R

Abstract excerpt

The frequencies of four malaria associated erythrocyte genetic abnormalities have been established in 1000 Omani subjects. They are: homozygous alpha+ thalassaemia (-alpha/-alpha) 0.45; high Hb A2 beta thalassaemia trait 0.015; sickle trait (Hb A/S) 0.061; and glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase de...
