How Blood Group Influence Hair Texture?
Journal Title: Current Trends on Biotechnology & Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective of present studies was to correlates blood grouping with hair texture. Total 181 subjects participated in present study. The subjects were students in Baha Uddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. Blood groups are chemical system used in blood transfusion and determination of parentage. Two types of blood groups are discovered yet, ABO and Rh. A survey was performed among subjects of different blood groups to determine their hair texture. Each subject told either they had curly or straight hair with his consent. It was concluded from present study that females having B+ blood group had maximum straight hair while A- subjects (males and females), B- subjects (males & females), AB+ males, AB- subjects (males and females), O- males had minimum curly hair similarly AB- and O- males had minimum straight hair. Blood groups are the complex chemical system that are present on the surface of blood cells. All bloods have the same basic components as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. There are two types of blood group system. ABO blood group and Rh. ABO blood system has four types. A (A+, A-), B (B+, B-), AB (AB+, AB-) and O (O+, O-). Blood group A has antigen A with anti-B antibodies. Blood group B has B antigen with anti-A antibody. AB blood group has both A and B antigen with no antibodies. Blood group O has neither A nor B antigen but with A and B antibodies. It is the most important blood group system for the blood transfusion in humans. O blood group individuals are called universal donor while AB blood group individual are called universal recipients [1]. Another type of blood group system is Rh blood group also called Rhesus system. It is encoded by the three genes C, D and E. The red blood cells in Rh system contain another antigen which is called Rd. antigen. It may be positive or negative. If it is present, then blood group will be Rd. positive but if it is absent then blood group will be Rd. negative. Hence, there will be eight blood groups such as A Rd. positive (A+), A Rd. negative (A-), B Rd. positive (B+), B Rd. negative (B-), O Rd. positive (O+), O Rd. negative (O-) [2]. Both these blood group systems were discovered by Landsteiner and used in blood transfusion and determination of parentage.
