چکیده

The population genetic studies on a small sub-tribe of 50 strictly endogamous individuals, i.e., Setharani (tribe Noohani) settled in southern Sindh (Pakistan) suggest a typical allelic frequencies of Rh (D=1.0, d = 0.0) and ABO (A = 0.58, B = 0.05, O = 0.40). This frequency is different from main Noohani tribe, settled in the northern Sindh and other populations of Sindh. The blood groups appearing in different individuals can be conventionally explained on a polyallelic inheritance for ABO-blood locus. Th strict endogamy exercised in the tribe does not appear to cause any ill effect.
