A study is presented on eleven patients with homozygous sickle cell anaemia. They are non-Sheeah Arabs from the United Arab Emirates on the south-eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The proportions of fetal haemoglobin in these patients are variable, and there is a marked variation in the severity of their disease condition; these facts are not related. African sickle cell gene admixture is a likely affecting factor.
本文介绍了一项针对11例纯合子镰状细胞贫血患者的研究。他们是来自阿拉伯半岛东南海岸阿拉伯联合酋长国的非希贾兹阿拉伯人。这些患者中胎儿血红蛋白的比例各不相同,并且他们疾病状况的严重程度存在显著差异;这些事实并无关联。非洲镰状细胞基因混合可能是一个影响因素。
