RESUMO
In an electrophoretic study of 15,661 Jamaican cord bloods, 8 rare beta-chain variants were found in 18 subjects in addition to the common beta-chain variants, Hb S and Hb C. The heterozygote frequencies for Hb S and Hb C were 10.1 percent and 3.7 percent respectively. The most frequent of the rare beta-chain variants were Hb Korle Bu (beta 73 Asp leads to Asn) (7 cases) and Hb O su-Christiansborg (beta 52 Asp leads to Asn) (3 cases). One new beta-chain variant, Hb Caribbean (beta 91 Leu leads to Arg) was found. (AU)
