    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Medical Genetics

    Context:

    • Abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) variants represent a significant public health concern globally.
    • Tunisia, located in North Africa, has a diverse population with potential for genetic variations.

    Purpose:

    • To comprehensively document and map the prevalence of abnormal hemoglobin variants in Tunisia.
    • To identify geographical hotspots for specific Hb abnormalities within the country.

    Summary:

    • Presents complete data on abnormal Hb types identified in Tunisia.
    • Highlights that the highest frequencies of these abnormal Hb variants are concentrated in the northwestern regions of Tunisia.
    • Provides a detailed overview of the local distribution of abnormal Hb.

    Impact:

    • Informing targeted screening programs for hemoglobinopathies in high-prevalence areas.
    • Facilitating a better understanding of the genetic epidemiology of Hb disorders in North Africa.
    • Supporting the development of region-specific clinical management strategies for patients with abnormal Hb.
