Abstract

The present survey, which involves 70 sickle cell anemia patients from Gujarat and Maharashtra revealed a high prevalence of the typical Arab-Indian haplotype (91.5 %). Six atypical haplotypes, including a Cameroon one were also found. Correlation of these various haplotypes with HbF expression was studied.
