“…Haemoglobin J Raper (1957) reported the first case of Hb J in a Gujrati woman in a survey of 500 Gujrati residents in Uganda. Sanghvi et al (1958) recorded two cases of Hb J in 2 unrelated women belonging to the Gujrati-speaking Lohana community in Bombay, one of which was associated with thalassaemia trait.…”

SummaryAn up-to-date review of literature on the distribution of haemoglobinopathies in the Indian subcontinent has been presented. Haemoglobins S, D, E, J, K, L, M, Q, β-thalassaemia major, β-thalassaemia minor, α-thalassaemia minor, haemoglobin H, haemoglobin Lepore and persistence of foetal haemoglobin have been reported from India, β-thalassaemia in combination with haemoglobins S, E, D, J, K, Q has also been reported. Haemoglobin S is found to be prevalent among tribal populations in various regions of India, while haemoglobin D is prevalent among Sikhs, Pathans and Gujratis. Haemoglobin E is present in high frequency among populations of Assam, Bengal and Veddahs of Ceylon. β-thalassaemia major is widespread in various populations. There is paucity of data regarding distribution of β-thalassaemia minor and α-thalassaemias in this region.

“…It is most frequent in the northwestern part of India, particularly amongst the Sindhis, Sikhs and Punjabis, having occasional association with Hb DD , Chaudhuri et al 19676, Dutta et al 1972, Gupta et al 1972, Jain 1971, Saha and Banerjee 1971. Other reports from Gujarat, Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Mysore, Bombay, etc., indicate mainly sporadic cases, possibly arising through mutation (Hakim et al 1972, Jacob et al 1956, Mehrotra et al 1968, Pande et al 1972, Raper 1957, Saha 1970, Sen 1960, Sinha et al 1973, Swarup et al 1959and 1966a, Trincao et al 1963, Vella 1962. A pocket of Hb D in a Sindhi community in Maharashtra was detected.…”

The occurrence of different types of hemoglobin variants in India has been well-documented in urban populations and in certain tribal areas. Beta-thalassaemia and hemoglobins D,E,H,S, and rare variants like Hb Lepore, have been found in varying percentages. There is a higher incidence of Hb E in the Eastern region and of Hb D in certain Northern populations. The association of Hb E with beta thalassaemia G6PD deficiency has been established. The relationship with other environmental factors, like malaria, is not yet clear.
