title: Distribution of red cell blood group systems in Achang and De'ang ethnic groups in China.
abstract: A survey on the distribution of red cell group systems, including ABO, MNSs, Rhesus and P, was carried out in the Achang and De'ang ethnic groups in Yunnan Province, South-West China. The Achangs are characterized by the highest frequency of IA in China, while the De'angs show a high frequency of IO and CDe. The distribution of these blood group systems in Achang and De'ang exhibits the same characteristics observed in other ethnic groups of South China.
