Co-inheritance of alpha+-thalassaemia and sickle trait results in specific effects on haematological parameters.
Both the sickle cell trait (HbAS) and alpha(+)-thalassaemia are common in many tropical areas. While their individual haematological effects are well described, few studies describe their effects when inherited together. We present data from the Kenyan coast, which suggest that HbAS and alpha(+)-tha...
