Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Blood group system was discovered way back in 1901 by Karl Landsteiner. Clinically, only ‘ABO’ and ‘Rhesus’ groups are of major importance. ABO blood group distribution varies in different geographical, ethnic and socio-economic groups. Apart from blood transfusion practice, knowing of the ABO and Rh blood groups were useful in population genetic studies, researching population migration patterns as well as resolving certain medico legal issues. This study was conducted to determine and compare the frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups in general population of Bhanpur, Bhopal, and M.P. During the study period from March 2015 to July 2015 volunteers were screened by antigen antibody agglutination method using commercially available antiseras. The study revealed that the commonest ABO blood group was B (39.25 %), followed by O (28.63 %), A (25.63 %) and AB (6.50 %) respectively. Rh positive were 94.88 % and Rh negative were 5.12 %. Keywords: Blood groups, ABO, Rhesus, Rh +ve and Rh – ve, agglutination method.
