Sickle cell anemia, the clinical expression of individuals homozygous for the hemoglobin S gene, is the most frequent hereditary disease in Brazil. Nevertheless, a genetic-epidemiological approach is rarely used in Brazilian studies related to this alteration. In the present study, using a specific computer program, data from 817 (513 males and 304 females) non-consanguineous individuals heterozygous for the hemoglobin S gene were studied. The participants, with ages varying from 18 to 65 years old, live from the region of Campinas, Southeastern Brazil. The Caucasoid, Negroid and native Indian genomic backgrounds of this sample were evaluated by a study of allelic frequencies for the ABO blood group system and compared with those observed i...
