Abstract
The present review was visualised as a search for relationship between non-ABO blood group systems including the AB(H) secretor types and susceptibility to representative group of diseases associated with various systems of the body. The materials were collected from all publications available to us during 1950–1967. For statistical evaluation, the method of Woolf (1955) was followed. It becomes evident from the various reports that many of the authors were aware of the possible biases, and did their best to avoid them. Three degrees of probabilities have been considered. The possible association of certain diseases to particular blood groups or types has been discussed. It is the main purpose of this review to show, where there are possible relationships, and to encourage further investigations in the same direction.
