[Heminoglobinopathies of young adults migrating from the Antilles to the Metropolis (apropos of 1,000 cases of electrophoresis)].
The systematic research of abnormal haemoglobins has been done on 1,000 subjects of both sexes (mostly 18 to 35 years) from Guadeloupe (500) and Martinique (500), examined in Paris. The following were found without significent difference in both islands : 86,9% heterozygote AS, 4,5% heterozygote AC, 0,3% double heterozygote SC, one homozygote CC, 0,3% increase of the fraction A2 and one increase of haemoglobin F. Those results were comparable to the few anterior studies in French West Indies.
