Abstract

The frequencies of Beta S and Beta C hemoglobin genes were determined by elec¬trophoresis in 2010 subjects born and living in four towns and two villages of Atakora district (Benin). A high frequency of the Beta C allele and a relatively low frequency of the Beta S allele were found. These data are discussed in respect to their bearing on the ideas that the peoples of North Benin belong ethnically to the Voltaic people.
