Abstract
Blood group phenotypes of anthropologic significance are described for inhabitants of 2 Israeli Arab communities with loci of HbS. The presence of Fy(a-b-), Rho, hrv+, and Js(a+)among the Hulah Valley Bedouin, and of Fy(a-b-), Rho, and hrV+ in Acre are indicative of genetic admixture of African origin. These non-African loci of HbS are thereby distinguished from previously described HbS loci in India, Greece and Turkey where low or absent Rho phenotypes imply secondary dispersions of the HbS gene from the Arabian peninsula.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
