Abstract

Eight hundred and sixty-five patients with diabetes mellitus showed ABO blood group frequencies closely similar to those expected from the controls. Six hundred and sixteen patients with diabetes mellitus showed frequencies of secretion and non-secretion of the ABH(O) substances in the saliva closely similar to those expected from the controls. Four hundred and fifty-three patients with diabetes mellitus gave MN blood group frequencies very similar to those expected from the controls.
