ABSTRACT
Laboratory studies were carried out on the blood samples of 2000 respondents drawn from thirty-two (32) indigenous ethnic groups in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State; Nigeria. Of these respondents; 753 were females (37.65) and 1247 were males (62.53). The result of study showed haemoglobin electrophoretic patterns AA 79.50(1590); AS 20.10(402 and SS 0.40(8). The incidence of Hb. AS and Hb. SS vary significantly from the results observed in similar studies in Garki; Kano (1) (28.90respectively) and Ibadan (Hb. AS 24). It also significantly varies from the national average reference (2) (AA 651; AS 25; SS 2)
