pubmed:abstractText |
The cord blood of 1,207 randomly selected neonates from the Cape Coloured population of South Africa was analysed for the presence of Hb Barts. 40 individuals (3.3%) had detectable Hb Barts levels with values ranging from 1.1 to 7.3%. Restriction enzyme analysis of DNA from subjects with Hb Barts showed that 85% of the cases studied had the genotypes -alpha 3.7/alpha alpha or -alpha 3.7/-alpha 3.7. The observed frequency of the -alpha/alpha alpha genotype was much lower than the expected frequency which suggests that this genotype is often not associated with detectable levels of Hb Barts. Mapping of the sigma-globin locus in three subjects with HbH disease revealed the presence of the--SEA/alpha-thalassaemia determinant in this population.
