    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Hematology
    • Population Studies

    Background:

    • Hemoglobinopathies represent a significant global health concern.
    • Understanding the prevalence of abnormal hemoglobins is crucial for public health initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of abnormal hemoglobins in the Libyan population.
    • To identify specific types of abnormal hemoglobin variants present.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrophoretic analysis of hemolysates.
    • Screening of 545 individuals from the University of Garyounis, Benghazi.

    Main Results:

    • An overall incidence of 4.2% for abnormal hemoglobins was detected in 23 subjects.
    • The most frequent variant was hemoglobin AS trait (3.0%), followed by hemoglobin AC trait (0.9%) and hemoglobin AD trait (0.36%).

    Conclusions:

    • The prevalence of abnormal hemoglobins in the indigenous Libyan population is low.
    • Specific hemoglobin variants like Hb-AS, Hb-AC, and Hb-AD are present at low frequencies.
