title: Serotyping of Duffy blood group in several Thai ethnic groups.
abstract: Duffy blood groups were serologically investigated in 434 individuals from Black Lahu (N = 54), Shan (N = 62), Lisu (N = 74), Red Karen (N = 112), White Karen (N = 102) and Manni (N = 30) in Thailand. High frequency of Fya (0.917-1.0) which is comparable with other Mongoloid populations was observed. The presence of weak-Fya antigen was detected in eight individuals of northern ethnic groups.
