We report the presence of sickle cell trait in several members of a white Jewish family. The trait was discovered when the propositus developed massive splenic infarction at high altitude. No erythrocyte markers characteristic of African ancestry were detected in any of the family members. This is the first bona fide documentation of sickle trait among white Jews.
