Resources

On this site you can use the Resource Browser to find:

  • Mapped distributions of sickle-cell, G6PD and HbC alleles (pending publication)
  • Mapped distributions of the Duffy negativity phenotype
  • Estimates of newborns with sickle-cell disease and Haemoglobin C (pending publication)
  • Estimates of the population prevalence of G6PD deficiency (pending publication) and Duffy negativity

You can download the raw survey data used in our analyses using the links below:

HbS allele survey data [135.9 KB] (None)

G6PD deficiency surveys [748.8 KB] (None)

Duffy surveys [140.0 KB] (None)

HbC allele survey data [53.7 KB] (None)

Other useful and complementary external resources include:

  • The Human Population Genetics Database contains all the data referenced in The History and Geography of Human Genes including crudely geo-referenced data for G6PD deficiency and Duffy negativity frequencies
  • HbVar is a relational database on the genomic sequence changes leading to human haemoglobin variants, types of thalassaemia and other haemoglobinopathies
  • The Frequency of Inherited Disorders Database is an online repository of information about the frequency of mutations leading to inherited disorders. Data on thalassaemias and G6PD from HbVar (see above) are included. Some mutation data are spatially referenced to the national level
  • The ALlele FREquency Database is a resource of gene frequency data on human populations supported by the US National Science Foundation. ALFRED is the only existing resource with a mapping interface allowing users to visualise the data distribution. Moreover, the website allows users to submit new data
  • The ITHANET portal is an electronic infrastructure for the thalassaemia research network developed within the European Union. All haemoglobinopathies have recently been included in an extension of the project
