We have determined the β gene cluster haplotype in 40 chromosomes carrying the βsmutation from individuals of the major ethnic groups living in the Republic of Guinea. Thirty‐one of these were either the typical (n = 29) or the atypical (n = 2) Senegal haplotype demonstrating that in this region of Atlantic West Africa, the sickle mutation is in linkage disequilibrium with this particular β‐gene cluster haplotype. Two individuals carrying one chromosome bearing the Benin haplotype were of Malinke ethnic origin. This is in keeping with the hypothesis that the Senegal β‐gene cluster haplotype is linked to the βsgene in Atlantic West Africa.
