Classical sickle beta-globin haplotypes exhibit a high degree of long-range haplotype similarity in African and Afro-Caribbean populations

BACKGROUND: The sickle (β(s)) mutation in the beta-globin gene (HBB) occurs on five "classical" β(s )haplotype backgrounds in ethnic groups of African ancestry. Strong selection in favour of the β(s )allele – a consequence of protection from severe malarial infection afforded by heterozygo...
