Abstract
We recently examined a 16-year-old high school student who participated in a survey for Hemoglobinopathies in an Anatolian city in Turkey. Analysis if his hemoglobin (Hb) showed the presence of an electrophoretically slow-moving variant (at pH 8.6, about as Hb S) which, upon further examination, was also seen in his father, one brother, and one sister.
