Abstract:
This is a descriptive, prospective and analytical study aimed
to determine the frequency of ABO, rhesus blood group
antigens and phenotypes. Among Alshaigia ethnic group in
Khartoum state. This study was conducted during the period
of six month (February to august 2013), following informed
consent, a total of 100 venous blood samples were collected
in 2.5 ml EDTA blood container from un releated individuals.
The samples were investigated for ABO blood group antigens
by direct a slide method, while for the Rhesus blood group
antigens the sample were tested by tube method, Du
technique was performed for each Rh (D) negative sample.
The result obtained from this study shawed that in ABO
blood group system the O antigen was the commonest
antigen with the frequency of (40%), followed by A antigen
(36%), B antigen (20%) and the last common was AB antigen
(4%). Blood group antigens the frequency of c antigen was
(99%) which was the highest frequency followed by e
antigen was (95%), D antigen (92%), C antigen (44%) and E
antigen (23%) which was the lowest frequency. In conclusion;
marked similarities between tribes could probability point to
a common ancestry in very ancient days.
Some changes from this could be seem in another Sudanese
tribes could be explain by their wandering nature.There is a
great, very lap between the linguistic classification of the
major
Sudanese
tribes
and
this
genetics
based
categorization.
Considerable similarities exist between different Sudanese
population linguistic similarities between different Sudanese
populations that lead to the development of the linguistic
classification closely over lap with some genetics markers.
