“…For the Kell system the frequency of the K gene varies between 3.2 and 10.6% in Saudi Arabia and is 4.7 in the inhabitants of southern Arabia [Marengo-Rowe et al, 1974], In the present sample, however, the figure is only 1.9% which is lower than that found by AlNassar et al [1981] for the Kuwaitis and lower than the other Arabian values, but it falls within the wide range for the Indian region.…”

“…Its frequency in the Middle East falls between 0 and 3% and between 0 and 1 % in Negroid popula tions [Bhasin and Fiihrmann, 1972], For the Arab populations, the highest frequen cy of the pc gene is given by 7T'//s [ 1969] for the Palestinian Arabs living in Israel; whilst in southern Arabia the gene was not found [Tills. 1969;Marengo-Rowe et al, 1974], and Al-Nassaret al [1981] found no cases of the gene pc in the Kuwaitis. How ever, in the present sample a figure of 2% was found which lies within the Middle Eastern range.…”

Blood samples were collected from 162 Kuwaiti Arabs. These samples were typed for the ABO, MNSs, Rh, Kell and Duffy blood group systems, serum protein haptoglobins, the red cell isoenzymes acid phosphatase, phosphoglucomutase (locus 1), adenylate kinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and the lactate and malate dehydrogenase variants. Comparisons were made with serological findings for other Arab populations in the Arabian peninsula.

“…Of interest are the biological distinctions between the "mountain" groups and the "plain/desert" groups. Furthermore, within this latter These facts, which are supported by historical sources (Seligman, 1917;Van Beek, 1970;Richard, 1984) (Mourant, 1954;Maranjian et al, 1966;Mourant e Tills, 1967;Marengo Rowe et al, 1974;Tills et al, 1977;Saha et al, 1980;Sawhney et al, 1984). The results of these traditional genetical analyses have also recently been confirmed by studies on DNA markers.…”

Microgeographic Differentiation in Historical Yemen Inferred by Morphometric Distances

et al. 2012

This study analysed the variations in space of 8 body dimensions and 11 measures of the head of 1,244 adult Yemenite males, collected in 1933/34 by Coon in Yemen and in Hadhramawt. The aim was to evaluate the presence of geographic microdifferentiation of the populations settled in the different regions of Yemen at the time. Coon sub-divided the sample into 6 geographical areas according to birthplace and ethnicity of the individuals: Tihamah, the Western Mountains, the Central Plateau, the South Coast, the Eastern Mountains and Hadhramawt. The results of ANCOVA (age as covariate) show that the observed differences of all variables among the six groups were highly statistically significant. Tukey's post-hoc test reveals higher statistically significant differences among four main groups: 1) Tihamah; 2) the Western Mountains and Central Plateau; 3)

“…However, this system gives relatively scant information for comparison with the other populations (table IV), whether Negroid or Arabic, since the frequencies for ABO antigens of the nearby populations all tend to be rather similar. Generally, the 0 and A2 frequencies are lower, and the B frequency higher in most Bantu popula tions than in Somalis, while in Yemenite Arabs they are more closely similar [e.g., Marengo-Rowe et al, 1974]. The Galla of Ethiopia [Bat-Miriam, 1962] and Kenya [Corrain, 1973] had both higher O and lower B, while the frequencies in the Beja [el Hassan et al, 1968] were close to those in our sample.…”

Distribution of Blood Groups in the East African Somali Population

1987

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The results of a population survey on blood group distribution in Somalia, East Africa, are presented. Over 1,000 subjects were tested for most blood groups included in the survey. The sampling covered the whole country and was well in accordance with the population density as estimated by the recorded birth places of the subjects. Altogether, 46 blood group antigens were tested, partly common antigens within 11 of the major blood group systems, but also infrequent and very frequent antigens, some not tested before in Africa, were included. The results were compared with the available data for other related peoples and for populations from the same geographical area. The standard genetic distances were also applied in the comparison. The results suggest that only a minor component in the genetic constitution of the Somali population can be ascribed to Caucasian admixture. They are markedly in contrast with some earlier findings. During the survey we observed a previously unknown Rh gene complex occurring with a polymorphic frequency in Somalis.
