Abstract

Background: The ABO blood group system was the first human blood group system to be discovered by Landsteiner in 1900. The second type of blood group is the rhesus system. There are only two Rh phenotype such as Rh positive and Rh negative, depending on whether Rh antigen is present on the red cell or not. The frequency of ABO and Rh phenotypes in different populations has been extensively studied. The present study was done to assess the prevalence of blood groups in various blood donors in Kashmiri population, a part of Northern India and to compare our results with other studies conducted in other parts of India and elsewhere in the world. Material and Methods: The study group consisted of various
