A 21 year old woman from Thrace with clinical and laboratory findings of mild hemolysis, was found to be homozygous for haemoglobin O Arab. Blood samples from 15 members of her family and from 42 inhabitants of her village were examined for the presence of Hb O Arab. A high incidence of this variant allele was also detected among the patient's family members as well as in other inhabitants of the village (p = 0.274 +/- 0.049). The possibility that Pomaks, a culturally unique tribe with controversial ethnic origin, may represent one of the original pools for the geographic distribution of the gene in the broader area of the Mediterranean basin is discussed.
一名来自色雷斯的21岁女性，有轻度溶血的临床和实验室检查结果，被发现为血红蛋白O阿拉伯型纯合子。对其家族的15名成员和同村的42名居民的血样进行了检查，以确定是否存在血红蛋白O阿拉伯型。在患者的家庭成员以及同村的其他居民中也检测到该变异等位基因的高发生率（p = 0.274 +/- 0.049）。文中讨论了波马克人这一具有独特文化且种族起源存在争议的部落，是否可能是该基因在地中海盆地更广泛区域地理分布的原始基因库之一。
