[Hematologic profile of hemoglobin "Hope" (beta 136 (H14) Gly-Asp) in the West African]

Detection of 11 cases of hemoglobin "Hope" after family study in three isolated cases led us to establish an hematologic profile of this hemoglobin. The first observation which can be done is the geographic origin of the propositus. All of these originated from the sub-sahelian zone. The second observation is the discovery of anemia for all carriers of this hemoglobin.
