BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Literature reports several studies on ABO groups and malaria but a study with an adequate sample size and controls is not available. ABO groups are genetically controlled, hence, large sample size and comparison with population frequency is essential. To determine whether malaria infection with variable severity has correlation with ABO groups. STUDY DESIGN & METHODS B...

Blood groups (ABO, Rh-including sub-types M-N, Duffy), secretor status and ability to taste Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) were investigated in 102 medical students of Delhi University, and the distribution was found similar to that observed in the north Indians. Both faster and secretors had highest percentage in AB, O and in rr, while the lowest values were obtained in B and R1r.

AIM To study correlation between lip print pattern, finger print pattern and ABO blood group. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 27 males and 27 females who were aged between 20-40 years. Lip prints, finger prints and ABO and Rh blood groups of each individual were recorded. Lip prints were classified, based on Suzuki's and Tsuchihashi's classification and finger prints were c...

background abo blood groups are associated with some important chronic diseases. obesity as a major risk factor of chronic non-communicable diseases is rising rapidly in iran as well as in developing countries. understanding the risks for obesity is important for its control. this study seeks to determine if there is any association between abo blood groups and body mass index (bmi). materials ...

Introduction Although several studies have investigated the relationship between ABO blood group and medical diseases, few reports have explored the association with oral diseases, including periodontal disease (PD). Aim The aim of this literature review was to assess the association between the ABO blood grouping and PD. Methods We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the fol...

background & aims: mistyping either a donor or a recipient can lead to transfusion with abo incompatible blood which results in severe intravascular hemolysis and may even result in the death of the recipient. abo phenotype is one of the essential tests in immunohematology. eighty percent of blood group a and ab persons are subtype a1 and a1b, respectively. the other 20% of these blood groups a...

This study aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located near the gene of the ABO blood group play an important role in the genetic aetiology of menstrual disorders (MDs). Polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction technology was used to detect eight SNPs near the ABO gene location on the chromosomes in 250 cases of MD and 250 cases of normal menstruation....
