A mother-child combination analysis for ABO-HP interaction in a Bengalee population
1Department of Anthropology, University of Calcutta, India.
Blood samples of 811 mother-child pairs from Bengalee Hindu caste groups were utilised to study the interaction between ABO blood groups and haptoglobin systems. There was no significant difference in the haptoglobin distribution between mothers and children. Significantly higher incidences of HP*1 were noted in the offspring born to ABO-incompatible mother-child combinations in comparison to offspring born to ABO-compatible combinations.
