Abnormal haemoglobins in Zambia. A new haemoglobin Zambia alpha-60 (E9) lysine--asparagine.
A survey for abnormal haemoglobins in Zambia has demonstrated Haemoglobin S-including 187 cases of sickle-cell anaemia, Haemoglobin J Oxford on one occasion, and a new Haemoglobin Zambia in four unrelated families. No evidence for beta-thalassaemia was found, but Haemoglobin H disease and other evidence for alpha-thalassaemia were found.
