IN this paper a study is reported of a large Turkish-Cypriot family group extending over four generations, on one side of which a minor abnormal haemoglobin, LeporeiCyprus, occurs in several members. The typical thalassaemia trait is present on the other side of the famdy, and the interaction of these two features in a fourth-generation infant gave rise to a serious clinical condition, terminating in death at 14 months of age. Hb-Lepore/ Cyprus closely resembles the previously described minor abnormal haemoglobin Hb-Lepore (Gerald and Diamond, 1958b). Two other minor abnormal haemoglobins which also closely resemble Hb-Lepore have since been reported and the interaction of one of these with thalassaemia has been described. The overall clinical and biochemical manifestations of these four minor haemoglobins are all very similar, both in the trait condition and in combination with thalassaemia.
