title: Incidence of abnormal haemoglobin traits among Gambian children.
abstract: The electrophoretic mobility of haemoglobin from 343 Gambian children between the ages of two months and ten years has been investigated. The incidence of Hb-S and Hb-C traits is described and compared with earlier reports on the distribution of these traits in The Gambia. One child was identified as having the rare haemoglobin, Hb-A + N.
