Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and blood groups in northern Sardinia.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, A1A2BO, Rhesus and Kell systems were investigated in a sample of 28,439 blood donors native of northern Sardinia. The frequency of deficient male individuals was 6.56%. Higher values of r, D, and CDe compared to the averages for continental Italy were observed. Variations within the island were found in the A1A2BO and Rhesus blood group systems.
