of Human Genetics) Inherited disorders
of blood have been among the first diseases in man in which Mendelian Inheritance had been established
. Bleeding diseases like haemophilias had
been discussed in ancient
texts and known to be passed from mother to son. With the
improved molecular methods of analysis it has now been established that haemoglobinopathies including thalassaemias
are the commonest single gene disorders known in man.Red
cells have been found to have many inherent defects, both of structure and
function. Red cell enzyme defects like G6PD deficiency is also the commonest
X linked disorder
in man. Structural red cell defects like spherocytosis,
elliptocytosis, acanthocytosis are inherited disorders which may
cause anaemias. In the present special issue of
Inherited Disorders of Blood, some topics are being discussed by experts in
different subjects of the field. It is hoped that it will open up new fields of
research in human genetics. CONTENTS Swapan Kumar Das and
