title: Geographic and ethnic distribution of human hemoglobin variants.
abstract: The distribution of hemoglobin variants in human populations is of interest to students of hemoglobin as well as geneticists and anthropologists. It has however received relatively little attention and, to the author's knowledge, this is the first attempt to comprehensively tabulate this type of information since Lehmann and Huntsman and Livingstone did so over 15 years ago (429, 430). In the interest of improving both the accuracy and scope of this compilation as well as keeping it current, the author invites investigators to submit to him corrections, references or additional information for inclusion in a future monograph or review article.
