dc.description.abstractLaboratory and family studies confirmed the diagnosis of homozygosity for hereditary persistence of foetal haemoglobin and heterozygosity for elliptocytosis in a 45-year-old Ghanaian male. This is the first adult where the homozygous state was found and showed that man can reach the middle age in excellent physical and mental condition with the haemoglobin of a foetus. � 1970 S.
