    Summary

    This study presents a FORTRAN program to analyze gene frequencies in ABO-like blood group systems across diverse populations. The software estimates gene frequencies, tests Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and assesses population homogeneity for genetic studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Population genetics
    • Human genetics
    • Immunogenetics

    Background:

    • The ABO blood group system is crucial for understanding human population genetics and transfusion compatibility.
    • Accurate estimation of gene frequencies and assessment of genetic equilibrium are fundamental in population genetic studies.
    • Analyzing genetic variation across different populations requires robust statistical methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a computational program for analyzing genetic phenotypes in ABO-like systems.
    • To estimate gene frequencies and their standard errors within and across multiple populations.
    • To perform statistical tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and population homogeneity.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a FORTRAN program to analyze observed phenotypes from genetically independent individuals across various populations.
