title: [Distribution of Rhesus haplotype frequencies in the Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia) administrative district].
abstract: The Rhesus haplotype frequencies and their regional distribution have been studied in the administrative area of Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia. The area studied is characterised by a heterogeneous distribution of the haplotypes and by missing Hardy-Weinberg conditions. There are higher CDe- and lower cde-haplotype frequencies in the south-western part. The distribution of the very rare cDue haplotype could be correlated with higher B frequencies in the administrative areas of Cologne and Düsseldorf.
