1Service d'Hématologie-Immunologie, Faculté de Médecine et de Pharmacie, C.H.U. Dakar, Senegal.
Abstract:
RH polymorphism was evaluated in Senegalese ethnic groups: Ouolof, Serere, Toucouleur, Peul, Diola and Mande. The cDe frequency was high, the cde frequency varied between groups and the cDE frequency was twice as high as the CDe frequency. No significant heterogeneity could be assessed between tribes. Nevertheless, cluster analysis disclosed the same pattern in Diola, Toucouleur and Ouolof, while the Peul were intermediary between these and the Serere and the Mande.
