1. The cases of four Negro patients with splenomegaly and targeting of the
red cells are reported. 2. Electrophoretic analysis of the hemoglobin in these cases revealed type C
hemoglobin exclusively. 3. An analysis of the genetic, clinical, and hematologic manifestations was
made. 4. For convenience, the name hemoglobin C disease has been given to the mild
hemolytic syndrome observed in these patients. 5. Electrophoretic recognition of hemoglobin C by filter paper and Tiselius
technics is illustrated. 6. Differential diagnosis is discussed with special attention directed to the mild
form of Mediterranean anemia.
