Abstract

This present study deals with the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among Rajputs(172) and Brahmins(57) of Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh. The phenotypic frequency of blood group B was found to be highest among Rajput and Brahmin population (30.2% and 52.6% respectively), whereas the phenotypic frequency of Rh(D) antigens is high (93.6% and 91.2%, respectively),among both the groups. The two populations were found to obey the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
