A first approximation of the incidences of abnormal hemoglobin traits in France is given. The data include all the large ethnic minorities living in France, and also take into account the second and third generations. We estimate 1.3 X 10(5) and 1.8 X 10(5) individuals with HbS trait and beta-thalassemia trait respectively.
