Objective
The objective of this study was to study relation of ß-thalassemia and its types (major, minor, intermedia) with ABO and Rh blood groups in Lahore, Pakistan.
Materials and methods
It was an observational study, in which ABO and Rh blood grouping of 711 β-Thalassemia patients was performed, after taking consent from patients. Blood grouping was performed by forward and reverse grouping, using tube method.
Results
The observed ABO blood group pattern, in both genders was O>B>A>AB. The overall frequency of O and A blood group was higher in female patients while frequency of B and AB was higher in male patients, but the difference was non-significant. Significant difference was observed between gender and Rh factor. Most patients of β-thalassemia lies in the category of major 48%, followed by minor 44% and intermedia 8%. Overall patients of AB blood group are mostly the patients of β-thalassemia major while β-thalassemia minor and intermedia had highest frequency of blood group B.
Conclusion
It was concluded from the study that the patients of ß-thalassemia have higher frequency of O+ blood group and least frequency of AB- blood group. A significant difference was seen in Rh blood group between the male and female patients. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in distribution of ABO and Rh blood group according to type of β-thalassemia.
