Popis:	Electrophoretic patterns of the hemoglobin from 524 consecutive pregnant Negro women revealed a 4.77 per cent incidence of sickle cell trait and an incidence of 3.62 per cent among 304 nonpregnant Negro controls. Possible implications of the low incidence of sickle cell trait in both the study group and controls are discussed. Among 36 women with abnormal hemoglobin traits, 25.2 per cent of 139 pregnancies ended in spontaneous abortions. Among normal controls, 239 pregnancies resulted in only 6.7 per cent spontaneous abortions. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of sickle cell trait and possibly hemoglobin C trait in the total picture of spontaneous abortions.
