Abstract
- New data on blood groups among Egyptians (Dakahlya province) are obtained by studying eight blood group systems: ABO, Rhesus, MNSs, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, P and Lewis. Comparing our results with the data reported in neighbouring countries, we found in Egypt a high frequency of B, NS, cDe and K genes, a moderately high frequency of P and the presence of Fy gene. The Egyptian population appears as a mixture of African, Asiatic and Arabian characteristics.
