Abstract
A survey of the various hemoglobinopathies in Israel is reported. The information was supplied from 13 hematology services throughout the country and from the Ministry of Health. The common hemoglobinopathies encountered were the thalassemias and sickle cell anemia. In addition, hemoglobin C and O Arab were found in isolated communities. Sporadic cases of hemoglobin Hasharon, hemoglobin D, hemoglobin NYU were also found. The thalassemic patients originated mainly from Kurdistan, Yemen and Iraq, while the sickle cell patients were mainly Moslem Arabs or Bedouins.Keywords
