African individuals harbor molecular RH variants, which permit alloantibody formation to high-prevalence Rh antigens after transfusions. Genotyping identifies such RH variants, which are often missed by serologic blood group typing. Comprehensive molecular blood group analysis using 3 genotyping platforms, nucleotide sequencing, and serologic evaluation was performed on a 7-year-old African mal...

BACKGROUND This study was done to know the distribution and frequencies of blood groups among blood donors attending voluntary blood donation camps organized by the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, Jharkhand so that demand and supply ratio of the four blood groups can be maintained so that no patient dies due to lack of a particular blood group. CONTEXT Up till now about...

Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder in human. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among children and evaluate its association with ABO/Rh blood groups. Method: Blood samples of 3401 asymptomatic children were analyzed and compared with 317 children who were admitted to hospital because of hemolys...

Abstract Background and Objectives The main antigens of the Rh blood group system (D,C,c,E,e) after the ABO system, are the most immune antigens. Due to existence of donor's red blood cells in the patient's circulation serologic methods can not accurately detect blood group antigens in patients with chronic blood transfusions, but molecular methods can overcome many of these limitations.   ...

Background & Aims: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. In spite of new scientific developments in recent years, several questions related to this disease have been raised that have still no answer. The objective of this research was to study the epidemiology of CL and its relationship with blood groups in the city of Bam in 2007...

Objective: Differences in blood group antigen expression may increase or decrease the sensitivity of host to many infections. Our aim this study is examine relationship between ABO and Rh groups COVID-19 patients their mortality.
 Material Method: This retrospective observational was conducted with who were diagnosed emergency department a tertiary hospital May 1, 2020, November 2020. Pati...

Disha Arora*, Ankit Kaushik, D.S. Rawat, A K Mandal Department of Pathology, Vardhaman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India Background: ABO blood group shows marked geographical and racial variation. The study of regional ABO phenotype is extremely important for understanding the regional demand of rare blood groups and to tide over the massive demands in case of na...

Objective: Genetic factors have been the subject of many studies in cancer etiology. One most striking these is relationship between blood groups and cancer. Therefore, our study, we examined stomach, colorectal, breast, thyroid pancreatic cancers, which are common general surgery practice, with single-center data. Method: We retrospectively analyzed cases who applied to University Hospital 200...
