Blood groups of the Sardinian population (Italy).
The genetic polymorphism of eight red cell blood group systems was examined in a population sample from Sardinia (Italy). The Sardinian frequencies of most of the examined genes were found out the range of Italian populations. Relationships among Italian and other Mediterranean populations were examined by principal component analysis. This kind of analysis confirms the genetic peculiarity of the Sardinian population.
