“…In Khuzestan province (Iran), blood group O was highest in prevalence and AB was the lowest among the ethnicities. In addition, 92.38% of the donors were Rh positive [18]. Across Nigeria, the results revealed that the ABO group frequencies in the order of O, A, B, and AB were 52.93%, 22.77%, 20.64% and 3.66%.…”

Blood groups are specific to individuals and are important laboratory investigations in transfusion medicine, tissue transplants and genetic disputes. They exhibit similar serological and physiological characteristics and are inherited according to specific pattern. Thus it was chosen to assess the blood group's awareness among the Omani people during the period of 2012-2016.The required information was collected from designed questionnaires that include several variables and based on similar previously conducted studies in different parts of the world. All the participants appeared to be healthy and educated. A total of 1800 questionnaires have been distributed in six different regions (willayates) in Oman. Nearly equal number of males and females were participated in the study.The results show that blood group O+ is the dominant blood group (49.1%), followed by A+ (19.7%), B+ (17.5) and AB+ (4.7%). In addition, ABO negative groups were only reported in one region and represented a total of 0.7%, although the blood group of 8.3% of the participant was not determined.In the present investigation, the majority of the participants seem to be familiar with the blood and its constituents and all of them were found aware of the blood donation, possible diseases transmitted by blood transfusion and the use of the donated blood. In addition, the majority (72%) were seemed familiar with the hereditary blood disorders. However, the association of the ABO blood groups with serious diseases reported in various studies was difficult to be assessed. All the findings are illustrated in a table and histograms using Microsoft Excel programs and the important, relevant, issues are discussed.

“…Studies on phenotypic distribution of ABO blood group have reported a considerable variation in different geographical areas, which reflects the underlying genetic and ethnic diversity of human populations [9]. However, several studies [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] including a recent study done in Nigeria [9] have not only reported O blood type as the most prevalent but also have shown the frequencies in the order of O > A > B > AB. In South East Nigeria particularly in Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi states, the average phenotypic distribution of ABO blood group revealed the frequencies in the order 57.69%, 23.83%, 16.14%, 2.33% (O > A > B > AB ) respectively [9].…”

Objective: The study investigated the possibility of using blood groups as predictive indices for diseases associated with lipid metabolism. Methods: Lipid profiles were examined in 100 apparently healthy male (40) and female (60) subjects of different ABO blood groups aged between 18-30 years from Imo State University. Of these, 20 were blood group A, 30 were B blood type, 4 were AB blood type, and 46 were blood group O. Lipid profile parameters were determined according to enzymatic assay using a commercial kit from Randox Laboratories, United Kingdom and calculation using Friedewald’s equation. Monoclonal ABO blood grouping reagent by CLAS Technology, United Kingdom was used to determine the blood group. Results: Total Cholesterol (140.62 ± 21.66 mg/dl) and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) (96.20 ± 40.32 mg/dl) were highest in blood group B. Blood group A had the highest level of Triglyceride (80.84 ± 18.60 mg/dl) and Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) (15.21 ± 6.24 mg/dl). Blood group O showed TC level of 130.60 ±34.76 mg/dl with the highest level of LDL (70.74 ± 20.15 mg/dl) and the lowest level of HDL (51.68 ± 20.50 mg/dl) compared to non- O blood types (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that blood group O might have a higher propensity for dyslipidemia, suggesting an increased risk for disease associated with lipid metabolism.

“…Le groupe sanguin est une classification du sang reposant sur la présence ou l'absence des antigènes hérités à la surface des cellules hématopoïétiques ou dans le plasma [7] [8] [9] [10]. Il existe plus de 600 antigènes et plusieurs systèmes de groupes sanguins évalués à environ 339 et repartis en 33 systèmes dont les ABO et Rhésus (Rh) qui sont des systèmes érythrocytaires qui font l'objet notre étude [3] [4] [5] [6] [11]. Ces antigènes (Ag) sont pour la plupart regroupés en systèmes génétiquement induits dont la connaissance est nécessaire dans plusieurs domaines: transfusion, allo-immunisation foeto-maternelle, transplantation des organes, études génétiques et médecine légale [4] [5] [6] [11] [12].…”

The determination of blood groups appears to be very useful in transfusion medicine, genetics, forensic medicine, organ transplantation and maternal alloimmunization. In Moba, blood transfusion is indicated in several anemias of the children. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of ABO and Rhesus blood groups in our environment. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Blood donors registered at the Moba General Reference Hospital for the period 2015 to 2016 were selected for this study (n = 2292). The Beth-Vincent test was used to determine blood group phenotypes from the monoclonal test sera. Blood groups O (60.5%) and AB (2.5%) were respectively the most frequent and the least encountered. In our series of studies, the numerical frequency order of the phenotypes of the ABO and Rhesus (D) blood groups included in order of importance: O + (n = 1364 or 59.5%); A + (n = 488 or 21.3%); B + (n = 348 or 15.2%); AB + (n = 55 or 2.4%); O − (n = 22 or 1.0%); A − (n = 7 or 0.3%); B − (n = 5 or 0.2%); and AB − (n = 3 or 0.1%). This observed difference between the different ABO and Rhesus groups is significant. Sex does not significantly affect the type of blood group. The distribution of ABO and rhesus groups follows the same Negroid distribution as in many countries. The results should be capitalized for proper priority management of the blood to be stored in the blood bank.
