Abstract
Background: Hemoglobinopathies are global health burden. Some geographical areas are more severely hit by this problem than others, this is partly related to the genetics and partly to the custom of inter-marriages seen in some populations. Counseling could play an important determinant in combating the increased incidence of hemoglobinopathies by reducing family inter-marriages.
Material & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Lyari General Hospital Karachi for six months. Two hundred(200) subjects of Sheedi/Makrani population
were inducted and Complete blood |Count (CBC) with Red blood cell indices and absolute values, peripheral smear and electrophoresis was performed.
