A note on fitness of haemoglobin genotypes in the Bengali-speaking population.
In the Bengali-speaking population of Calcutta (India) the genotype frequencies of the Hb beta-A/E/T system are given. The fitness of the genotypes has been calculated. It is found that this system is not in stable or semistable equilibrium in this population.
