Table 1.

Distribution of blood types and estimated proportion of matings at risk for neonatal isoerythrolysis or A-B mismatched transfusions in 262 DSH and DLH cats in Beijing.

Breed and sex Number of cats Type A
n (%)		 Type B
n (%)		 Type AB
n (%)		 B allele frequency q* Proportion of matings at risk† Risk for receiving A-B mismatched transfusion (%)
DSH 134 119 (88.8) 15 (11.2) 0 0.335 0.099 19.8
 Males 50 45 (90.0) 5 (10.0) 0 0.316 0.090 18.0
 Females 84 74 (88.1) 10 (11.9) 0 0.345 0.105 21.0

B allele frequency was calculated assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and not including the type-AB cat; q2 is the proportion of type B cats.

†

Proportion of matings at risk = (p2)(q2) + 2pq(q2), where q2 = proportion of type B, q = frequency of b allele, p = frequency of a allele, and p = 1 – q2.
