Table 1. Distribution of ABH and Lewis Blood groups in the studied individuals.
Blood group | Non-secretor (14) | Secretor(57) | All (71) |
A (%) | 8 (57%) | 20 (34%) | 28 (39%) |
AB (%) | 2 (14%) | 9 (16%) | 11 (15%) |
B (%) | 1 (7%) | 9 (16%) | 10 (14%) |
O (%) | 3 (21%) | 19 (33%) | 22 (31%) |
Lewis a (Le a+b−) | 12 | 0 | 12 |
Lewis b (Le a−b+) | 0 | 48 | 48 |
Lewis negativeA (Le a−b−) | 2 | 9 | 11 |
Secretor status of the Lewis negative individuals was determined by sequencing the coding exon of the FUT2 gene.
