ABH secretion in populations of the British Isles.
Saliva specimens were collected from 163 Manx and 994 Cumbrian individuals and tested for secretor group. The findings confirm the pattern of variability in non-secretor frequencies reported in populations of the British Isles. A possible explanation for this distribution of secretor groups is suggested. The Cumbrian sample is also examined for intra-regional heterogeneity.
