Since 1975, more than 19,000 persons have been tested for hemoglobin abnormalities in Liège. Nine unrelated carriers of Hb D-Los Angeles were discovered. They were of Belgian origin. The family of the ninth index case was studied thoroughly. In six generations, 372 descendants of a couple married in 1818 were recorded. Of the 93 tested, 31 were carriers of the Hb D variant. The complete pedigree indicates that Hb D-Los Angeles was already present in Liege province in the 18th century. A connection with India is unlikely.
自1975年以来，列日已有超过19000人接受了血红蛋白异常检测。发现了9名不相关的血红蛋白D-洛杉矶携带者。他们是比利时血统。对第九例索引病例的家族进行了全面研究。在六代人中，记录了1818年结婚的一对夫妇的372名后代。在接受检测的93人中，有31人是血红蛋白D变体的携带者。完整的家谱表明，18世纪时列日省就已存在血红蛋白D-洛杉矶。与印度的关联不太可能。
