[Hemoglobin anomalies and medico-biological data in 10,000 Africans (author's transl)]

Since 1962, the hemoglobin of all the foundation scholars of the French Cooperation addressed to the C.E.A.B.H. for a medical examination at their arrival in France was systematically studied. The distribution and the incidence of hemoglobin S and hemoglobin C were recorded in fourthy ethnic groups from Africa South of Sahara. Few significant correlations between the frequency of anomalies detected by the medico-biological check-up and the presence of an abnormal hemoglobin were found; AC seems to be less asymptomatic than AS. Some rare hemoglobins were detected.
