title: [Clinical and hematological profile of hemoglobin C Ziguinchor (Cz) in Western Africa].
abstract: The authors report 10 cases of Hb C Ziguinchor share out in 3 features ACz, SCz, Cz-PHHF (HPFH: hereditary persistence of foetal hemoglobin). The clinical and hematological study of the features has allowed the following conclusions: the Hb Cz is a rare mutant specific of the Negro and which original focus may be in Senegal. The heterozygote form (ACz) does not present any clinical manifestation. The association Hb S-Hb Cz brings about a serious hemoglobinopathy which has clinical and hematological features like the sickle cell disease (SS). The association Hb Cz-HPFH is relatively supported in spite of episodic painful crisis.
