Blood group genetics of some caste groups of Southern 24 Parganas, West Bengal.
Five caste groups (Hindu) and a Muslim population from southern West Bengal are studied for the seven blood group systems, i.e., A1A2BO, MNS, Rh, Kell, Duffy P and Lewis. Cate heterogeneity was found to be statistically insignificant. The two religion groups are also shown to be genetically similar to each other with respect to these blood group loci.
