ABO and rhesus blood grouping in NWFP

ABSTRACT

A study of ABO blood group and Rh [D] factor, was carried out on 10478 cases. Blood group 'O' had the highest [35.13%] and blood group 'AB' the lowest [8.23%] frequency. Blood group A and B were 24.71% and 31.93% respectively. An overall 94.1% of population was Rh [D] positive. A comparison of the ABO blood group and Rh [D] factor of the N.W.F.P., with that of Karachi population, shows that there has not been much difference between these two populations
