“…The Ibiza pop ulation, as well as those of the other Balea ric islands [Miguel, 1988;Moral, 1986], ex hibits frequencies for ACPI*A similar to those published for the Basque country (north Spain) [Martinez de Pancorbo, 1982;Aguirre, 1987] and other Mediterra nean populations [Tsiakalos et al, 1981;Bonne-Tamir et al, 1978;Tills et al, 1983]. However, they differ from those reported from central and southern Spain [Goedde et al, 1972] and from central and northern European populations, which are charac terized by higher frequencies of this allele.…”

A sample of 390 individuals from Ibiza (Balearic islands, Spain) was studied for the red-cell enzyme polymorphisms: esterase D (ESD), acid phosphatase 1 (ACP1), glyoxalase I (GLO), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) and adenylate kinase 1 (AK1). The following allele frequencies were observed: ESD*2 = 0.181; ACP*A = 0.249; ACP*B = 0.719; ACP*C = 0.032; GLO*2 = 0.556; PGD*C = 0.018; PGM1*2 = 0.235, and AK1*2 = 0.032. These results were compared with those reported from other Balearic populations. There was a heterogeneity between island samples in the ESD and PGD systems. In spite of this, the whole Balearic population could be differentiated from most European and circum-Mediterranean populations.

“…Among Western European, 42% have group A, 9% group B, 3% group AB and remaining 46% group O. American blacks generally have frequencies of A, B, AB and O blood groups of 27%, 20%, 4%, and 49% respectively (Conteras and Lubenko, 2001). Among the population of Southwest Asian countries (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Iraq, Iran) the frequencies of alleles A and B are about 23 and 15 respectively (A>B), except in Afghanistan, where the allele B is higher than O and A (Ara et al, 2008;Mourant et al, 1976;Tills et al, 1983). Our frequencies are comparable with the neighboring country Afganistan and Pakistan, where the highest phenotypic frequency was of B group.…”

A series of glycoproteins and glycolipids on red blood cell surface constitute blood group antigens. These are AB, A, B and O in ABO blood group system and Rh in rhesus blood group system. A total of 1065 unrelated Backward Caste (OBC) individuals from Uttar Pradesh were studied for the phenotype and allele frequency distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups. Total 1065 samples analyzed, phenotype B blood type has the highest frequency 36.81% (n=392), followed by O (32.68%; n=348), A (23.66%; n=252) and AB (6.85%; n=73). The overall phenotypic frequencies of ABO blood groups were B>O>A>AB. The allelic frequencies of O, A, and B alleles were 0.5819, 0.1674 and 0.2506 respectively. Out of total 1065 samples, 1018 (95.59%) samples were Rh-positive and 47 (4.41%) were Rh-negative. Phenotypic frequency of Rh-negative in Koari, Yadav, Kurmi and Maurya samples were 0.99%, 4%, 1.4% and 7.6% respectively.

In contrast to the conclusions of several previous studies, there was no evidence for close genetic affinities among the Jewish populations or for a Middle Eastern origin for most of them. Since the study is the first to use only the more reliable protein electrophoretic markers, and an appropriately comprehensive panel of non-Jewish populations, the results are regarded as the most reliable available to date.
