Unfortunately, this site doesn't have anything on the "Johnson blood factor"
but it's useful to bookmark for future reference.

Pam asked:
Can somebody please enlighten me as to what the "Johnson blood factor" is?
I know that some Africans from areas of West Africa have "sickle cell
anaemia" in their blood line. Is this something similar? I tried a "Google"
search but did not find anything.

Thanks, Pam Lewin
