Hemoglobinopathies Observed in the Population of the Southeastern United States (SE-USA)

Abstract
A survey of nearly 250,000 citizens of Georgia and South Carolina conducted during the past twenty years has led to the detection of over 40 abnormal hemoglobins and several additional he-moglobinopathies. The presence of some of these hemoglobin abnormalities cause (severe) clinical symptoms but others remain undetected unless a specific search is initiated.
