    Summary

    This study surveys hemoglobin disorders in Israel, finding thalassemias and sickle cell anemia as most common. Isolated communities also showed hemoglobin C and O Arab, with sporadic cases of other variants.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Genetics
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Hemoglobinopathies represent a significant global health concern.
    • Understanding the prevalence and distribution of these genetic blood disorders is crucial for effective healthcare planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a comprehensive survey of hemoglobinopathies across Israel.
    • To identify the common types and population-specific distributions of these disorders within the country.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collection from 13 hematology services nationwide.
    • Collaboration with the Ministry of Health for comprehensive information gathering.
    • Analysis of reported cases of various hemoglobin variants.

    Main Results:

    • Thalassemias and sickle cell anemia were identified as the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies.
    • Hemoglobin C and O Arab were found in specific, isolated communities.
    • Sporadic occurrences of Hemoglobin Hasharon, D, and NYU were documented.
    • Thalassemic patients were primarily of Kurdish, Yemeni, and Iraqi descent.
    • Sickle cell patients were predominantly Moslem Arabs and Bedouins.

    Conclusions:

    • Israel exhibits a diverse spectrum of hemoglobinopathies.
    • Population-specific genetic backgrounds correlate with the prevalence of certain hemoglobin disorders.
    • This survey provides essential data for targeted screening and management strategies for hemoglobinopathies in Israel.
