Incidence of abnormal haemoglobin traits among Gambian children.
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.
