Sickle cell disease not only occurs in the black but also in the non-negroid population. The sickle cell gene has already been detected in members of the Turkish population living in the Netherlands. It may not be excluded that sickle cell anemia or trait also can occur in members of other ethnic minority groups. Therefore it is desired to extend pre-operative screening of HBS on all immigrant children, including the non-negroid ones.
镰状细胞病不仅发生在黑人中，也发生在非黑人人群中。在居住在荷兰的土耳其人群体成员中已经检测到了镰状细胞基因。不能排除其他少数民族群体成员也可能出现镰状细胞贫血或性状。因此，希望对所有移民儿童，包括非黑人儿童，扩大术前血红蛋白S（HBS）筛查。
