In order to establish the characteristics of sickle cell hemoglobinopathies in Argentina, all cases diagnosed in a 30-year period in the Hematology Unit of R.

Concentrations of Hb A2 and Hb S were calculated by elution of cellulose acetate strips following electrophoresis, and Hb F was measured by alkali denaturation. Of the 925 hemoglobinopathies diagnosed, Hb S was found in 116 (12.5
