High level of heterozygous haplotype of hemoglobin in Abidjan population with mild malaria.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hemoglobin disorders that concern 300,000 newborns each year around the world. There are hemoglobin haplotypes that affect SCD clinic expression.

Methods: Our goal was to identify the hemoglobin's haplotypes among individuals with mild malaria independently of SCD status in Côte d'Ivoire.
