Blood group distribution in Khartoum reveals stable ABO and RhD gene frequencies among 3087 donors. These findings align with previous data, indicating consistency in blood group prevalence over 35 years.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Population Genetics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Understanding blood group distribution is crucial for transfusion services and population genetics.
  • Previous studies on ABO and RhD blood groups in Khartoum provide a historical baseline.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the current distribution of ABO and RhD blood groups in a large cohort of blood donors in Khartoum.
  • To compare current gene frequencies with historical data to assess population stability.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of blood group phenotypes (ABO and RhD) from 3087 random blood donors.
  • Calculation of gene frequencies for ABO (O, A, B) and RhD.

Main Results:

  • Reported gene frequencies: ABO*O = 0.6683, ABO*A = 0.1914, ABO*B = 0.1403, and RH*D = 0.7436.

  • The observed gene frequencies are comparable to those reported 35 years prior.
  • Consistency noted despite differences in sample size between studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • The ABO and RhD blood group gene frequencies in Khartoum have remained stable over the past 35 years.
    • This stability has implications for regional blood transfusion strategies and genetic diversity studies.
