Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:“ABO” blood phenotypes are group of inherited antigen that found on RBCs surface and other tissues. Some studies advocates that “ABO” blood group genotypes would be associated with diseases occurrence like type 2 DM.This case control study was conducted among 200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 200 apparently healthy individual as control. The ABO phenotype was determined using direct blood group phenotype. Chi-square test was used to assess the possible link between ABO blood groups and type 2 DM. The percentage of blood group B in diabetic patients was significantly higher than in control {odds ratio (OR) 2.069, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.29-3.32, p value =0.002}. Blood group “B” is positively associated with incidence of type 2 DM, While Blood group “O” has negative association.
