Abstract

The ABO blood groups and the Rh factor were determined for 1308 Palestinian subjects living in the northern part of the West Bank, using Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-D sera. Group 0 was the most frequent blood group in these subjects (46%) followed by group A (36.7%), group B (137.) and group AB (3.7%). Of the examined subjects 90.4% were Rh and 66.5% of these were females.
