Present Preoccupation: Presently I am occupied with teaching a novel approach to
Genetic Counselling and Voluntary Family Size Limitation [GCVFSL] in Sickle and
other Haemoglobinopathies, not only emphasizing the need for Ethical Principles in
Genetics and Genomics [See Publications], but also involving ‘Patient Achievers' in
the Counselling Process which (using my invented kanad method) ensures that the
message that aims at reducing the burden of sickle cell disease in the next
generation gets through, and can be demonstrated to even lay men and women, and
young students by jointly throwing two dice with the opposite sex. Kanad stands for
‘konotey-ahulu norm ache dice' of six cubes – 2 have ACHE printed on all six sides
in dark red, 2 have NORM printed in green on all six sides, and 2 have NORM and
ACHE alternating on the cube surface. Human phenotypes are NORMNORM, or
NORMACHE or ACHEACHE with respect to beta-globin genes. Felix Konotey-
Ahulu's parents are NORMACHE and NORMACHE. They had 11 children (as stated
above) who shared the phenotypes NORMACHE (4 of us), NORMNORM (4 of us),
and ACHEACHE (3 of us) who suffered hereditary cold-season rheumatism, or
Sickle Cell Disease. Only the ACHEACHE have symptoms. The kanad enables
anyone who knows his/her phenotype to find out which phenotypic pairing will
guarantee a non ACHEACHE offspring [Publications 44, 225, 236, 243, 254]. One in
three Ghanaians is NORMACHE. These do not know they carry an ACHE gene,
because they (like the NORMNORM) are symptom free from hereditary rheumatism,
known as chwechweechwe and other tribal names so they must be identified and
counselled whether abroad, or at home.
Meaningful Genetic Counselling
and Voluntary Family Size Limitation
Health Education in the Mother Tongue: I have developed a novel way of writing African Tonal Languages to facilitate comprehension, especially valuable in Public Health Education in the Mother Tongue – See Publications 164, 218, 238. MILLENNIUM HYMN: I wrote a Millennium Hymn, "TIME WAS CREATED", with 7 verses and Music (Tonic Solfa & Piano) ready for the turn of the Millennium 1999/2000. My hobbies include Piano and Writing. I was involved in founding Accra Chapel in 1967 on the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital compound in Accra, Ghana PUBLICATIONS, INVENTIONS, OTHER OUTPUT:
Of about 300 publications over 46 years listed (xxxvii + 261 + a, b ,c) in http://www.konotey-ahulu.com/publications.htm none, however brief and insignificant, is without a message. I reproduce about 1 in 3 of these publications below, retaining their numerical position in the original list that can be viewed on line. Where available, the internet identification is given so that they can be down loaded and assessed as to their value in contribution to medical and other knowledge. Notes are added to some in the list of publications for clarification. (1) New African, a popular international monthly based in London, conducted
a 12-month survey of a readership of nearly 200,000 to find who readers thought were "THE ONE HUNDRED GREATEST AFRICANS OF ALL TIME", and why. Published in September 2004, the voters mentioned Felix I D Konotey-Ahulu in the list which had Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Kofi Annan, W E B Du Bois, Haile Selassie, Maya Angelou, Gamel Abdel Nasser, Bill Cosby, F W De Klerk, Desmond Tutu, Wole Soyinka, Maheru Mhotep, Abedi Pele, ‘The African Woman', Jomo Kenyatta, Hannibal, to mention some. Konotey-Ahulu asked to be replaced by Dr J E Kwegyir Aggrey about whom he wrote an article for New African ("Aggrey of Africa") published in the Oct 2004 issue, p. 50 to show how altogether greater was Dr Aggrey. [See Publications 174a & 174b]. (2) Professor Helen Ranney MD, Albert Einstein University College of
Medicine, New York, has stated: "There is no single clinical experience in the United States comparable to that of Dr Konotey-Ahulu" [page 320 in SICKLE CELL DISEASE, edited by Abramson/Bertles/Wethers; Mosby Co 1973]. (3) Professor Roland Scott MD, Howard University Centre for Sickle Cell
Disease, Washington DC "This is a meritorious addition to the medical literature and Dr Konotey-Ahulu has been disclosed as a seductive narrator as he tells the story of Sickle Cell Disease" in Foreword, p ix, 1991 ‘The Sickle Cell Disease Patient'. (4) Professor Sir David Weatherall FRS MD FRCP Oxford Univ., in Lancet
June 29 1991, Vol 337 p 1590 "'The Sickle Cell Disease Patient' is a fitting tribute to a physician who has done as much as anyone to improve facilities to deal with this condition in Africa". (5) Professor D Geraint James MA MD FRCP, Royal Free Hospital, London
University, in Sarcoidosis 1992 Vol 9 p 73: "This thesaurus or treasure trove of information adds a new dimension to the world of sickle cell disease". (6) Professor Alastair J Bellingham MB FRCP FRCPath, King's Col ege
Hospital, London University, in Tropical Diseases Bulletin, 1993 Vol 90 No 3, p 164: "This remarkable study must represent the largest compilation and report of a single person's clinical experience … For professionals working within the community and hospital I can recommend it as a marvellous feast to delve into". (7) Dr Maxwell Wintrobe MD PhD, Distinguished Professor of Medicine,
University of Utah, USA in his book Haematology, The Blossoming of a Science – A Story of Inspiration and Effort (Lea & Febriger, Philadelphia) 1985 pp 378-380): "Dr Konotey-Ahulu has contributed to our understanding of the clinical manifestations of sickle cell disease and other haemoglobinopathies in Africa…His contributions are especially noteworthy; the value of his work has been widely recognised".
