A description is made of a Caucasian family of Lithuanian and Italian ancestry living in Pôrto Alegre, Brazil, in which there is segregation of the gene which conditions the type of thalassemia which does not raise the fraction A2. The information obtained involves four generations in a total of thirty four individuals, eight of which were examined. Tests about the concentration of serum iron and the iron-binding capacity of thalassemic individuals resulted normal.
