  • Title: [Results of a systematic study of drepanocytosis in 1,500 Gabonese using hemoglobin electrophoresis].
    Author: Richard-Lenoble D, Toublanc JE, Zinsou RD, Kombila M, Carme B.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot Filiales; 1980; 73(2):200-6. PubMed ID: 7460122.
    Abstract:
    Hemoglobin electrophoresis realised as a routine screening test on 1 500 gabonese individuals revealed the existence of a sickle cell abnormality n 24.40% cases (22.27% were AS heterozygotous and 2.1% were SS homozygotous). Bapounov and Fang ethnies appeared to be the most involved. The importance of such disturbance (I gabonese individual out of 4 is concerned) could justify the creation of Prenatal Counseling Centers mainly dealing with this genetic problem.
