title: Blood group distribution in Sudan.
abstract: The distribution of the ABO and RH(D) blood groups amongst 3087 random blood donors in Khartoum is reported. Gene frequencies are ABO*O = 0.6683, ABO*A = 0.1914, ABO*B = 0.1403, RH*D = 0.7436. The figures are similar to those last reported 35 years ago which were based on much smaller samples.
