Abstract

Frequencies of various hemoglobinopathies were examined in a total of 1,922 individuals of Eti-Turk origin by electrophoretical techniques. Hb A2 and Hb F determinations were also performed in 651 and 1642 cases, respectively. Mean Hb S frequency was 15.3%. Variations among the different age groups were insignificant. Hb E and .beta.-thalassemia frequencies were 0.47 and 1.23%, respectively. Hb Hacettepe and Hb D were found once. Red cell glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was found in 6.5% of males.
