“…As per the findings of the current study, Rh-D positive blood group was the most predominant accounting for 90.5% and the rest 9.5% was Rh-D negative. This is relatively similar to the study of Akinnuga et al, (2011) done in Elele, Nigeria where rhesus D-positive individuals constituted 91.7%. The finding was also in agreement with research done in the United States by Garratty et al, (2004) among different ethnic groups, where rhesus D positive was the highest at 90.3% and rhesus D negative was the lowest at 9.7%.…”

The Rhesus blood group system is the second most important red blood cell antigen system after the ABO blood group system. The purpose of this study was to generate basic data on the prevalence of Rhesus D antigen among patients attending Wudil general hospital. Haemagglutination method was used to determine the presence of Rhesus D antigen using commercially available Anti-sera D. Anti-sera A and B were also used to investigate the ABO blood type. It was discovered that Rhesus D positive was the most prevalent with percentage frequency of 90.5% (181) and Rhesus D negative was the lowest with percentage frequency of 9.5% (19). It was observed that Rhesus D positive was higher in males than female (51.5% and 39.0% respectively). Rhesus D negative was also relatively higher in males than in females (6.0% and 3.5% respectively). A prevalent pattern of (B Rh-D +> O Rh-D +> A Rh-D +> AB Rh-D +> B Rh-D ->A Rh-D - > AB Rh-D - >O Rh-D -) was discovered. This study will be useful in studying the susceptibility of diseases with regards to Rhesus factor and may generate a vital information for population genetics and anthropological studies.

“…Although ABO/Rh blood groups are determined at conception and remain throughout life, diverging phenotypic results have been obtained across various ethnic populations in different geographical boundaries. [3][4][5][6][7] In addition to the importance of these blood groups in blood transfusion, their usefulness in population genetic studies, population migration patterns, forensics and disputed paternity cases is well established. 8,9 Moreover, there are several reports in which some associations have been found for diseases between the ABO and Rh blood group systems.…”

Introduction: ABO and Rh are the most important blood group systems with various distributions reported for different populations. There are no reports referring to the distribution of the ABO/Rh blood groups in Iranian Kurdish population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of these blood groups among this major Iranian ethnic group from Ilam city. Materials and Methods: 1,534 blood donors attending the blood transfusion service in Ilam, Iran, were randomly selected over a period of six months. The ABO/Rh blood groups were determined by the forward and reverse grouping. Results: The most frequent blood group in men and women was A and O; respectively, followed by B and AB. In the Rh system, 91.1% of the donors were positive and 8.9% were negative. Conclusion: This study provided new insight into distribution of the ABO/Rh blood groups in a major ethnic population of west Iran. Moreover, the presented data may also be useful in health care planning, population genetic studies, genetic counseling and medical diagnosis.

“…On comparing allele frequencies of different studies world-wide [24,25,[29][30][31][32], we found that allele frequency of I O in ABO & I D in Rh blood group system is highest across the world (Table 6). Thus our findings are similar to other studies.…”

Background: ABO and Rh (D) blood groups are the most important in blood transfusion and are determined genetically. Although these blood groups are common to all humans, there is variation in their allelic frequency based on region and population. This study was performed to determine the allelic frequency of ABO & Rh (D) in the donor population in the Blood Center of Chhattisgarh located in Central India. Place and Duration of Study: It is a cross-sectional study performed in the Department of Transfusion Medicine & Blood Bank of a teaching hospital from July 2021-February 2022. Methodology: Only the accepted whole blood donors were included. ABO & Rh (D) blood grouping was performed by conventional tube technique and their allelic frequency was determined. We studied 4078 whole blood donors out of which 4055 were males and 23 were females. Results: Phenotypic frequency of ABO blood group system was O>B>A>AB. Rh (D) positive was more prevalent than Rh (D) negative. Allele frequency of ABO system was 0.1545 for IA, 0.2351 for IB, and 0.6105 for IO. In Rh system, allele frequency of ID was 0.8441 and Id was 0.1559. Conclusion: Phenotypic & allelic frequency of ABO & Rh (D) shows heterogeneous distribution in different parts of the world. Our study showed blood group O & allele IO as the most common. This data is of utmost importance in the planning of transfusion services, especially during a healthcare crisis in low-resource area like ours.
