title: [Hemoglobin Stanleyville II and mucoviscidosis in an Alsatian family].
abstract: Hemoglobin Stanleyville II, resembling hemoglobin D, has been found several times in individuals from Central Africa. This paper now reports its discovery in Alsace, in an 8 year old girl with cystic fibrosis. The mother and 5 out of 7 siblings had the abnormal hemoglobin. Only 2 of these 5 children had all the symptoms of cystic fibrosis. The family has been living in Alsace for many generations. Cystic fibrosis, a congenital disease, has a high incidence (1/1,800) among white children but is rare in black people.
