title: [Hereditary elliptocytosis in the Ivory Coast].
abstract: The authors report 6 cases of hereditary elliptocytosis during a screening in one thousand (1,000) black persons. The analysis of these cases of elliptocytosis allow to draw the following conclusions: the frequency of the hereditary elliptocytosis varies between 0.6 to 1 per cent in Ivory Coast, the functional and structural analysis of spectrin show a high global frequency of the elliptocytosis of Model I in relation with an abnormally of alpha I domain of spectrin, all the cases detected don't give any clinical trouble.
