| Abstract: | Only five Hb S heterozygotes with an associated Hb H Disease i.e. the ASH condition or AS: --/-α have been defined in molecular detail. These had ancestries of Saudi-Arabian, Black or mixed Black and Chinese origin. We have studied a sixth patient who was from Turkey. The propositus was detected at birth with Hb Bart's at 27.6%. This declined to 1.6% at nine months, while the proportion of Hb S which was 5.1% at one month increased to 18.0% at one year. |
