Frequencies of the MNSs and Kell Blood Groups among the Japanese

Abstract

Studies were carried out on the frequencies of the MNSs and Kell blood groups among the Japanese in Tokyo. With respect to the MNSs, we have found the frequencies of MS and NS chromosomes among Japanese are lower than those among English people.
Of the blood samples tested by us, no positive case of the M^g, Mi^a, and Vw, nor of k(Cellano) factor has been discovered.
