Appendix 2, part 3: RACIAL MIXING BROUGHT THE HEMOGLOBIN D DISORDER TO BRITAIN AND IRELAND Hemoglobin D is a genetically transmitted blood disorder which originated on the Indian sub-continent, and which spread to England, Scotland and Ireland during the colonial period when many soldiers – Englishmen, Scots and Irishmen – took Indian wives back to their homelands. It is worthwhile to review the hemoglobin D case study because it proves two things: - Firstly, that genetically inherited conditions, such as sickle cell and hemoglobin D, are transmitted directly by racial mixing; and -Secondly, to show that it is not just southern Europe that has been affected by racial mixing during the course of history, but that northern European lands have also fallen prey to this phenomenon, albeit in smaller overall numbers. HEMOGLOBIN TYPE IS INHERITED
COMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM HEMOGLOBIN D Carriers of hemoglobin D are at little risk themselves, but if they should have children with other carriers, there is a 25 percent chance that their children will have either sickle cell disease, or milder variants known as hemoglobin SD or just be carriers of the trait. The University of Rochester’s Medical Center, Division of Genetics, explains it this way:
RACIAL LINK TO INCIDENCE OF HEMOGLOBIN D
HEMOGLOBIN D CAME TO BRITAIN WITH RACIAL MIXING
The proof is thus clear that during the colonial era, (circa 1850 -1950) racial mixing between soldiers in the British Army and Indians took place. Like sickle cell disease, Hemoglobin D was transferred to a White population through interracial contact.
