Origin of the hemoglobin S gene in a northern Brazilian population: the combined effects of slave trade and internal migrations

1998-12-01

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed DNA polymorphisms in the b-globin gene cluster of 30 sickle cell anemia patients from Belém, the capital city of the State of Pará, in order to investigate the origin of the bS mutation. Sixty-seven percent of the bS chromosomes were Bantu type, 30% were Benin type, and 3% were Senegal t...
