The objective of the present study was to determine the frequency of HbS in Eastern Uttar Pradesh population. The written consent was taken from each subject. 3 ml blood samples was collected from 350 selected anemic patients and genomic DNA was extracted from all the 350 collected blood samples. HbS mutation was analysed by PCR-RFLP method. Out of 350 samples analyzed, four individual was heterozygous (HbS/N) and one individuals were homozygous (HbS/S) for Hb S mutation.
