“…Among other centres in Northern India and neighbouring country Pakistan, the trend of ABO frequency was same as B>O>A>AB blood groups but the frequency of A blood group among Kumaon population in Uttarakhand (28.7%) and neighbouring Nepal(34%) was reported to be higher as compared to other parts of North. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Similar observations of 'B' blood group being the commonest were made from Western states. 12,13 The distribution of ABO and RhD blood groups when compared to the studies done at eastern or southern parts of the country and few other parts of the world showed contrasting observations wherein blood group O is the most prevalent.…”

“…Studies done in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have found similar trends in distribution of ABO blood groups with higher frequencies of blood group B. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] A study in Zammu and Kashmir reported blood group B as the commonest one (36.6%) followed by groups O (35%), A (21.4%) and AB (7%). 11 In another study in Kashmir, blood group O was reported as the most common one (38.43%), followed by groups B (32.05%), A (22.95%) and AB (6.55%).…”

Introduction: ABO and Rh blood group systems are the most important blood grouping systems from clinical aspect. Determination of blood group is important for blood transfusion therapy, medico-legal purposes, organ transplantation, settlement of paternity disputes etc.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out for a period of one year from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2011 in blood bank of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. All blood samples collected for blood group determination were included in the study. Blood group was determined by slide agglutination method using commercial antisera.Results: A total of 13568 blood samples were analyzed, 5123 (37.75%) were male and 8445 (62.25%) were female. Frequencies of blood groups A, B, AB and O were found to be 4034 (29.7%), 3665 (27.0%), 1114 (8.2%) and 4755 (35.1%). Frequencies of Rh positive and Rh negative blood groups were found to be 13200 (97.3%) and 368 (2.7%). Blood group O was common in Brahmin, Chhetri, Tamang, Lama, Gurung, Sherpa, Terai Brahmin, Muslim and Yadav ethnicities; blood group A was common in Newar, Rai, Magar, Limbu and Sanyasi ethnicitites; and blood group B was common in Tharu and Marwari ethnicities.Conclusions: Blood group O was found to be the most common blood group while AB was the rarest one. It was found that blood group O is the more common in Sherpa, Brahmin and Yadav; A in Limbu, Rai and Newar; and B in Tharu and Marwari ethnicities._______________________________________________________________________________________Keywords: ABO; blood group; ethnic distribution.

“…However, in the studies conducted on Nepalese medical students by Pramanik and Pramanik [16] and on a report by Tomilin and Gurtovaia [20] on a population of the Russian Federation, A was the most prevalent blood group. Similarly [21], reported that blood group B was the most prevalent one in Bannu region in Pakistan. Such contradictions are probably due to immensely different sample sizes, geographical environments and ethnic groups in the study populations.…”

Background: Frequency distribution of blood groups is important as it is used in modern medicine, genetic research, anthropology, and tracing ancestral relations of humans. The ABO and Rh blood groups are the most important blood groups despite the long list of several other blood groups discovered so far.Aim of the study: To study and document the frequency of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups in three ethnic groups of Silte Zone, Ethiopia.Subjects and methods: ABO and Rh (D) typing was carried out during 2012 and a total of 441 students from both genders were randomly selected from Silte Secondary and Preparatory School, SNNPR, Ethiopia. Finger prick blood samples from both genders were tested for ABO and Rh (D) blood groups by the open slide test method. A drop of each of the antisera, anti-A, anti-B and anti-D was added and mixed with each blood sample and rocked gently for 60 s to observe agglutination.Results: The blood group ''O'' was predominant (36.73%, 40.14%, 46.26% in Sodo, Silte and Meskan ethnic groups, respectively) in all the Rh positive subjects whereas blood group ''A'' was predominant (5.4%) in the Rh negative subjects only in the Sodo ethnic group among the three ethnic groups. The percentage of Rh (D) positive and negative subjects was 91. 16%, 93.19%, 91.84% and 8.84%, 6.81%, 8.16% in Sodo, Silte and Meskan ethnic groups, respectively.Conclusion: The frequency of ABO blood groups in both Rh positive and negative subjects among the three ethnic groups of the Silte Zone, Ethiopia was O > A > B > AB, except in the Sodo ethnic group where the blood group A was the commonest among Rh negative subjects.Ó 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Ain Shams University.
