“…12 There are many similar studies with the study of Mohammadali et al, that cannot find a significant correlation between HBV infection and blood groups. [13][14][15][16][17] In these studies, usually HBV infection was more commonly detected in patients in blood group O. 13,14,16 Only in the study of Siransy et al, HBV infection were more frequently observed in blood group A and in blood group B in the study of Behal et al 15,17 In these five studies, the results of Rh blood group were different ( Table 2).…”

Background: Chronic HBV infection is a significant public health problem all around the world. It is not clear if ABO/Rh blood groups have a role in the development of chronic forms of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between chronic HBV infection and ABO/Rh blood groups.Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective study that included totaled 937 individuals: 453 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis and 484 healthy individuals as the control group. HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) and blood groups results of patients between the years 2013-2015 were collected by reviewing the laboratory results. During these three years HBsAg was performed on the architect i2000sr (Abbott diagnostic, Illinois, USA) with ELISA and ABO/Rh blood groups were analyzed with gel centrifugation method (Grifols, Barcelona, Spain).Results: Blood group A Rh positive was higher than other blood types in the chronic hepatitis B group (44.3%) and in control group (41.9%), whereas blood types O, AB, and B were similar between cases with chronic hepatitis and controls (p>0.05). HBV infection was moderately less frequent in subjects with AB positive blood group (p=0.07). The prevalence of Rh positive was 89.1% in patients and 88.2% in the control group (p>0.05).Conclusions: This study showed that there was not an association between ABO/Rh blood groups and chronic HBV infection, but there is a need for different and more numerous case-control studies about this subject.

“…"ABO" and "Rhesus" blood group antigens are major human blood group system antigens with prime importance in transfusion medicine. [1] The blood type of an individual defined by small carbohydrate epitopes depends on the presence or absence of genes "A" and "B". The gene is positioned on chromosome 9q34 and consists of 7 exons spread over 18kb called "ABO" blood groups.…”

Background:The "ABO" blood group system is associated with some diseases including gastric and duodenal ulcer, hepatitis B1, vascular diseases, abdominal aortic aneurism, and cancers. Some epidemiological studies demonstrated the linkage among the "ABO" blood group and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Aims and Objective -This study aimed to find out the possible linkage between "ABO" and "Rhesus" blood groups with type 2 DM. Material and Methods: This study was carried out in Department of Physiology, Muzaffarnagar Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarnagar from April 2017 to June 2017. This study included total 1316 individuals in which 104 were diabetic patients, and 1212 individuals were non-diabetic apparently healthy controls. Diabetic patients were taken from diabetic outpatient clinics, and the controls were taken from healthy individuals coming for blood donation at blood bank of Muzaffarnagar Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarnagar. Standard slide agglutination test for the determination of ABO and Rh blood groups was used. Data thus obtained were analyzed by applying Chi-square test to determine any association between DM and different ABO and Rh blood groups. Data were expressed as percent and absolute number of frequency. Results: Increased frequency of blood group AB and blood group O (18.26% vs. 10.31%, 34.61% vs. 29.31%) were found in diabetes. On applying Chi-square test, statistically significant association was found between blood groups AB and O and DM (Chi-square value -8.24, P < 0.04). Increased frequency of Rh positive blood group in diabetic (96.15% vs. 95.54%) but association between Rh blood group and diabetes was not statistically significant. (Chi-square value -0.021, P = 0.88). Conclusion: Blood group might be a risk factor and it can be helpful for the evaluation of the disease.

“…In another study, HBsAg seroprevalance was the highest in patients with O blood group among a cohort of 330 blood donors, however, the association was not statistically significant (22). Siransy et al (23) have found that O blood group of individuals were infected with HIV and HBV infection more frequently than those with non-O blood group. In a comprehensive study including antenatal screening tests, B and AB blood groups were observed to be associated with increasing HBV infection (24).…”
