“…The frequency of the weak D phenotype in whites is approximately 0.2% to 1% (Flegel et al, 2000;Wagner et al, 2000), up to 10% in Africans (Cheesbrough, 2000), 7.5% among the Yoruba of South-Western Nigeria, 0.75% in Kenya (Lyko et al, 1992), 0.6% in the United Kingdom (Nwauche et al, 2003) and approximately 0.23% in USA (Mollison et al, 1997). Nwauche et al, (2003) found 0.95% among adult females in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. These varied results from Nigeria depicted heterogeneity in the prevalence of weak D, even among somewhat homogenous entities.…”
