Abstract

In a sample of 25 population groups, correlation coefficients were calculated between the proportion of AB0 blood-group incompatibility as well as the gene frequencies and haptoglobin and placental alkaline-phosphatase phenotypes and genotypes, separately. Correlation coefficients were also calculated between haptoglobin and placental alkaline phosphatase. A significant positive correlation was found between AB0 incompatibility and the PlF-gene frequency. There was a positive correlation between the Hp1-gene frequency and the 0 blood group, though no significant correlations were found between the proportion incompatibility and the Hp1-gene frequency. The results are discussed.
