dc.description.abstract	Phenotype and gene frequencies of ABO and RH (D) systems were studied in 37,846 random blood donors in five zone of Nigeria (South West) (Yoruba)-zone A, North West(Hausa -Fulani) -Zone B, Plateau (Birom)-Zone C, South East (Igbo) -Zone D and North East (Kanuri) -Zone E). We assessed the micro differences of genetic markers of ABO and RH blood group between the ethnic groups in the AOB and RH blood group systems. Gene frequencies were AOB O =0.7068, ABO A = 0.1490, ABO.B=0.1443, RH D =0.8150 and results are similar to those earlier reported. Phenotype frequencies of the blood groups were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equllibrium expectations,except in two zones B and C where deviation was thought to be due to a high frequency of blood group AB	en_US
