Abstract-

The current study aimed to find out the gene distribution at the ABO and Rh loci population of District Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For this purpose data were collected from different localities of Swat Like Mingora, Kanju, Saidu Sharif, Barikot, Odigram, Manglawar, Bahrian, Kalam, Kabal, Khwazakhela, Matta, Charbagh, from the indiviuals of all the ages. Data was collected from June to September. By classical slide technique and antisera A, B and D the blood group phenotype were determined. Fourteen hundreds samples was collected randomly from individual of all ages and both genders. The most common blood group was O (29.4 %), followed by blood group B (28.5%) than blood group A (27.6 %) and the blood group AB (15%). The proportion of Rh D differs amongst the four ABO blood groups as well. The entire value of Rh antigen positive was (82.7%), while the total value of Rh antigen negative was (17.2%). Then data was analyzed for the distribution of allelic frequencies of ABO and Rh Blood type using online software S2 ABO estimator.
