ABSTRACT
The levels of glycated haemoglobin, fetal haemoglobin and methaemoglobin in 618 Saudi subjects were determined. A statistically significant decrease in the percentage of glycated haemoglobin was observed in all haemoglobinopathic groups studied in comparison to normal controls. However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of glycated haemoglobin in patients with sickle cell anaemia when compared with those sickle cell subjects who were also glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient. This suggests that there is little survival advantage or disadvantage in the combination of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and sickle cell anaemia.
