Journal Title: Mintage journal of pharmaceutical and medical sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of phenotypic and allelic frequencies of blood groups ABO and RH in the provinces of the Oriental region of Morocco. Methodology: ABO and RH grouping were performed on 3289 blood donors from the seven provinces Berkane, Driouech, Figuig, Jerada, Nador, Oujda and Taourirt. Results: Phenotypic frequencies O, A, B and AB were respectively 45.36%, 33.75%, 16.10% and 4.79%. Allelic frequencies O, A and B were respectively 0.673, 0.216 and 0.111. In the RH system, DCcee phenotype was the most common (39.27%), followed by DCCee and Dccee (≈16%), DccEe, ddccee and DCcEe (less than 11%), then DccEE with a frequency less than 3%. The other phenotypes were rare. Conclusion: This study will provide in the important database of blood groups ABO and RH for regional blood banks, especially rare phenotypes and for researchers in genetic populations to explain variations between frequencies in provinces
