High frequency of beta thalassaemia in a small island population in Melanesia.

High frequency of beta thalassaemia in a small island population in Melanesia.

A study of the causes of anaemia in the south west Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu has identified one island, Maewo, where the carrier rate for beta thalassaemia exceeds 20%, one of the highest recorded incidences in the world. Homozygous beta thalassaemia is a major cause of infant mortality and a s...
