Abstract
Abstract
A cord-blood screening program, designed primarily for detecting sickle cell disease, has been in operation for seven months (8000 samples) at a large maternity unit in Kingston, Jamaica. We describe techniques of cord-blood collection and electrophoretic investigation on both cellulose acetate and agar gel. These methods appear to give rapid, valid results at minimal expense and are well adapted to screening large populations.
