The incidence of alpha-thalassemia in Iraqi Turks
The frequency of alpha-thalassemia was 3.6% among Turkish newborns in a study that employed globin gene mapping analysis of DnA [4]. In our study, in 13 out of 205 cord blood samples alpha-thalassemia was found 6.3%. There was mistake at incidence so hat we improved with erratum [5].

Frequency of alpha-thalassemia in Greece.
Using hematological and gene mapping techniques, a cord blood survey was carried out to estimate the frequency of alpha-thalassemia in the Greek population. Out of 227 newborns studied, 16 (7.05%) were found by gene mapping to be alpha-thalassemia 2 heterozygotes (-alpha/alpha alpha), and of these only two had increased levels of hemoglobin Bart's in ...
