Abstract

In our country, a program for Β-THALASSEMIA prevention is in place which provides heterozygote (carrier) screening as well as educational information and reproductive counseling. This effort has already led to a significant drop in the incidence of Β-THALASSEMIA. However, a question that needs to be addressed here is: Could the implementation of this program potentially increase the frequency of heterozygotes in the population? In this observation, it has been shown that the frequency of heterozygotes in the population increases from 2pq to 2pq+2q2, with the assumption that the frequency of defective allele is equal to q, p+q=1, and that marriage of heterozygotes dramatically decreases to zero. Because q is a small quantity, the above mentioned change will not cause a remarkable alteration in the HETEROZYGOTE FREQUENCY of the population.
