A 21 year old woman from Thrace with clinical and laboratory findings of mild hemolysis, was found to be homozygous for haemoglobin O Arab. Blood samples from 15 members of her family and from 42 inhabitants of her village were examined for the presence of Hb O Arab. A high incidence of this variant allele was also detected among the patient's family members as well as in other inhabitants of the village (p = 0.274 +/- 0.049). The possibility that Pomaks, a culturally unique tribe with controversial ethnic origin, may represent one of the original pools for the geographic distribution of the gene in the broader area of the Mediterranean basin is discussed.
