Abstract
Blood group phenotypes of anthropologic significance are described for inhabitants of two Israeli Arab communities with foci of hemoglobin S (HbS). The presence of Fy(a-b-), Rh₀, hr<sup>V+</sup>, and Js(a+) among the Hulah Valley Bedouin, and of Fy(a-b-), Rh₀, and hr<sup>V+</sup> in Acre are indicative of genetic admixture of African origin. These non-African foci of HbS are thereby distinguished from previously described HbS foci in India, Greece, and Turkey where low or absent Rh<sub>0 </sub>phenotypes imply secondary dispersions of the HbS gene from the Arabian peninsula.
