Abstract
ABNORMAL hæmoglobins are frequent in southeast Asia1. However, only one report of a search for abnormal hæmoglobin variants in Sarawak has so far appeared : among 101 blood samples from Land Dyaks and 85 from Sea Dyaks, only one (from a Land Dyak) contained an abnormal variant and represented the heterozygous state for hæmoglobin E 2.
