Abstract

IN previous papers of this series,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 studies were described on the heredity of the Rh—Hr blood types in a series of 525 families with 925 children. The results of these family studies, as well as the statistical analysis of the distributions of the Rh—Hr type in various populations throughout the world have confirmed the accuracy of the theory of heredity of the Rh—Hr blood types by multiple allelic genes.
