[Hemoglobin N Baltimore: 28 cases in one Guadeloupe family (author's transl)]

The detection of hemoglobin AN Baltimore in a young man, 28 years old in June 1978, led us make a family study. This family study was very interesting because our proband had 16 brothers and sisters, many of whom also had many children. Research on abnormal hemoglobins was done on 46 family members: 28 were carriers of hemoglobin AN Baltimore and three children, carriers of heterozygote SN Baltimore.
