Abstract
A high frequency of Hb J Tongariki (α 115 Ala → Asp) was found in a Kilenge village in New Britain. Heterozygotes had 45 to 50 percent of the Hb J component (determined by cellulose acetate electrophoresis). Two homozygotes for Hb J had no Hb A, suggesting that in this family only one Hbα structural locus is present.Keywords
