title: [Prevalence and genetic profile of alpha-thalassemia in the newborn in Ivory Coast].
abstract: The authors report 525 cases of alpha-thalassemia tracked from samples of cord blood proceeded from 12,709 new-borns. With a frequency of 4.13% alpha-thalassemia was frequently in studied population. The lack of symptomatical shapes (Hemoglobin H disease and hydrops foetalis) agree the present theory about the genetic of Black African alpha-thalassemia.
