title: [Erythrocyte phenotypes and gene frequency of the ABO system in the Congo population. Evaluation based on 5,400 subjects].
abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the gene frequencies of the ABO blood groups in Congo where there is no data available. High frequency of O gene (0,7252 is noted. The frequency of gene A found to be close to the B gene's. These data are obtained from 5 400 persons and are of the same order that the published results concerning Equatorial Africa peoples.
