| Abstract | ||
| This study was aimed to have information on the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among the major ethnic group (Arab population), so they are useful in population genetic studies. Blood groups and Rh factor determination was carried out by the antigen-antibody agglutination test encompassed 4958 subjects. The results showed the percentages of various groups among male and female subjects, respectively, were recorded as13% and 14.5% (for blood group A), 13.7% and 14.9% (for blood group B), 3.8% and 4.8% (for blood group AB) and 17.5% and 18% (for blood group O). The Rh positive and negative distribution in the studied population was 90.33% and 9.66% respectively. This study concludes to confirm that blood group O was the most common of the ABO blood group system in the population studied. AB blood group was quite rare and Rhesus D was more common than Rhesus D negative phenotype. | ||
