BLOOD TYPES IN RELATION TO DEPRESSIONS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA: A PRELIMINARY REPORT.
The distribution of the ABO, A(1), D, E, C, and Kell blood types in relation to selected psychiatric diagnoses was studied in over 700 consecutive admissions to a provincial mental hospital. Predicted relationships based upon recent work in other laboratories were supported by consistent trends approaching statistical significance. In addition, blood group O was found to be significantly associated with involutional melancholia.
