title: Heterogeneity in the distribution of ABO blood groups in Hungary.
abstract: Estimates of the gene frequencies for the ABO system (i = 0.5593, IA = 0.2989, IB = 0.1418) based on a random sample of more than two hundred thousand voluntary donors from the 19 countries of Hungary are provided. Populations West of the Danube differ significantly from those East of the Danube for the frequencies of i and IB. These data are consistent with previous ones on the HP gene.
