The ABO blood group systems were tested on the samples by the forward and reverse technique of blood grouping by tube method. A total of 320 individuals were shown to be blood group O (43%), the blood group A were shown to be 226 individuals (30%), blood group B were 167 people (22%) and blood AB finally were 37 people making up to 5% of the population tested. This work follows almost the same discovery made by other researchers of ABO grouping system and did not show a significant differences among the groups except in that reported on Brazilian Indians in Mato Grosso which registered 100% blood group O among Indians of Mato Grosso by Bier at al(1982). The work serves as a fundamental screening on the distribution of ABO blood group system in Porto Novo and did not indicate whether there exists a difference of ABO blood group system distribution among other islands of Cape Verde and also a reference point for those engaged in clinical blood use like the red cross organisation and paramedical units who at times give blood on emergency basis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568251691159,"sku":"9783640790739","price":2004.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783640790739.webp?v=1767465431","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-distribution-of-abo-blood-group-system-in-porto-novo-district-of-cape-verde-islands-9783640790739","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
