Prevalence of Rhesus blood groups in Sri Lanka.
Rhesus phenotypes were done on random samples of blood of 500 blood donors from February 1979 to September 1980. The distribution of Rhesus phenotypes in this sample is presented. Although the pattern of distribution of these phenotypes in Sri Lankans is similar to that reported in Indians, it differs markedly from that reported in Caucasians.
