Distribution of ABO and Rhesus Blood groups among Type-2 Diabetic subjects

“…Our study correlates with the database research studies of Meo et al (7) observed that blood group B is associated with a high incidence of T2DM. Sandhya Sharma et al (4) have shown that the distribution of ABO blood groups observed was in the order of B> O > A > AB in diabetic subjects. Qureshi & Bhatti (8) found an association between ABO blood groups and T2DM with the highest distribution of diabetic patients in blood group B individuals.…”

“…Many studies in recent years have shown an association between ABO groups with T2DM. (4,5) Several reports have evaluated the possible relationship between DM and Rh blood group; however, the populations vary and the findings are inconsistent. (6) The results of the present study show that Blood group B has the highest distribution percentage among group-2 with the percentage of 59.39% in comparison with group-1 (34.02%), followed by A (19.55%), O(18.79%), AB(2.27%) [Refer Table-1].…”

“…(2) Both the ABO and Rh blood groups systems have been associated with a number of diseases, but this is more likely related to the presence or absence of these tissue antigens throughout the body and not directly or primarily related to their presence on RBCs. (3) Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated the connection between ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups with type-2 DM (T2DM) risk, (4) but the findings were inconsistent.…”
