GENETIC – BIOCHEMICAL AND ETHNIC FEATURES OF VAKHSH VALLEY YOUNG AGE REPRESENTATIVES BY BLOOD GROUP AND RHESUS – FACTOR

Abstract

Aim. To study AB0 system blood groups and Rh factor of young people from Vakhsh valley of the Republic of Tajikistan; to carry out the comparative analysis and to define genetic geography of blood groups and Rh factor among Tajiks and Uzbeks; to define the importance of the results for early identification and differential diagnostics of similar clinical forms. 

Material and methods. Standard blood serum was used to define the blood group and Rh factor. 102 first-year students from Vakhsh valley aged 17-22 years participated in this research. The research was performed in the Central research laboratory of the TSMU.

Results. The blood group test revealed that 30% of Tajik women and 42% of Uzbek women had the I blood group. The II blood group for Tajik women was 35% and for Uzbek women 50%. The III blood group for Tajik women was 23% and for Uzbek women 16%. The AB group was almost completely absent in both groups of the female population. It should be noted that the negative Rh factor in Uzbek women was completely absent, while in Tajik female population it made 9%.

Conclusion. Thus, the blood groups are a specific biological feature of the individual which are formed in the early embryonic period and are constant during the life.
