Tribals constitute a major chunk of the total population of India. Out of a total 475 tribal groups in India, about 75 are primitive tribes. Kutia Kondhs of Orissa state are one of the most primitive tribal people of the country. A total of 2488 children aged 6-15 years belonging to 15 major tribes were screened for ABO and Rhesus (D) blood groups at random from various Ashram schools in eight ...

Hemoglobin variants are mutant forms of hemoglobin in a population , caused by variations in genetics. It’s occurring when there are genetic changes in specific genes, or globins that cause changes or alterations in the amino acid. Hemoglobin variants, ABO and Rhesus blood groups are known to vary from one population to another. Thus, there is need to elucidate the frequency of these indices in...

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated higher frequencies of the O blood group and the nonsecretor phenotype of ABH antigens among patients suffering from peptic ulcers. Since Helicobacter pylori has been established as the main etiological factor in this disease, controversies about the associations of the ABO and Lewis blood group phenotypes and secretor and nonsecretor phenotypes in relat...

A study of ABO blood group and Rh (D) factor, was carried out on 10478 cases. ‘0’ had the highest (35.13%) and blood group ‘AB’ the lowest (8.23%) frequency.Blood group 24.71% and 31.93%respectively. An overall 94.1 % of population was Rh (D)positive. Blood group A and B were A comparision of the ABO blood group and Rh(D) factor of the N.W.F.P., with that of Karachi population, shows that there...

BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice that occurs in ABO or Rhesus issoimunisation has been recognized as one of the major risk factors for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin neurotoxicity. AIM Aim of our study was to investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with hemolytic jaundice due to Rh and ABO incompatibility and compare results with the group of unspecific j...

OBJECTIVE ABO blood group and secretor status is valuable in relation to some diseases in clinical and forensic medicine. Across the globe there are geographic and racial differences in the frequency of secretors and non-secretors. Aim of this study was to evaluate the status of ABH blood group secretors and non-secretors in Karachi (Pakistan). METHODS Blood and saliva samples were randomly c...

The distribution of the Rhesus and ABO blood groups, thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Europe and in Jewish populations argues for a regulatory mechanism at the population level which adjusts gene frequencies so that the overall genetic load is not excessive, since gene frequencies giving a high genetic load at one locus are often associated with those giving low ...
