- Allele frequencies found in African populations for the Knops blood group alleles at the loci; McC and Sl. All studies were compared to the frequencies found in Ghana. * and ** differed significantly from the distribution seen in Ghana (p < 0.02) and (p < 0.001), respectively. 1Thathy et al.[17], 2Zimmerman et al.[24] , 3Moulds et al.[20]. The frequencies shown reflect pooled cases and controls.
- a and b denotes the alleles at the McCoy (McC) locus, 1 and 2 denotes the alleles at the Swain-Langley (Sl) locus.
