Abstract

Blood group phenotypes Fy (a-b-) and Rho, which are considered to be specific African genetic markers, have been sought in 87 Eti-Turks. Overall prevalence of Fy (a-b-) and Rho has been found to be 14.9%. This finding, completely different from that of the general population, documents the African admixture in this ethnic group.

Keywords: African blood group markers, blood group markers and hemoglobin S, Eti Turks, hemoglobin S
