Blood Groups of Filipinos

Blood Groups of the Native Inhabitants of Bougainville, New Guinea

“…The red cells for these suspensions were washed three times with physiological saline before testing and the final suspensions diluted appropriately with saline immediately before use. The methods used for determining the blood groups were those described by Mollison, Mourant and Race (1952) and the gene frequencies were calculated by methods described by Walsh, Kooptzoff, Dunn and Atienza (1954).…”

Blood Groups of Koreans

“…They were tested on the day of arrival. The testing methods employed were as described by Race and Sanger (1950) and the gene frequencies were calculated by methods used previously (Walsh, Kooptzoff, Dunn and Atienza, 1954).…”

Distribution of Blood Groups in Korea

“…This value is not far from that found in the present study. Walsh et al [10] found only 1 D-negative case among 1,000 samples, while the frequency of the D-negative cases was 0.30% in 2,019 northern Chinese, 0.34% in 3,855 southern Chinese and 0.22% in 12,120 Taiwanese [7], As mentioned above, the frequency of D-negative cases in Asia might be lowest in Korea and Taiwan.…”
