Characteristics of Hgb C Carriers in Northern Israel and Clinical Features Among Hgb Homozygous

Overview

Hgb C is an hemoglobinopathy quite rare in Israel. The clinical status of patients that are diagnosed as homozygous to this disease is quite benign but not study in large groups. Also the characteristics of carriers and the incidence in northern Israel were a large arab population lives, was not study.
