The Blood Groups, Serum Groups and Haemoglobins of the Inhabitants of Lunana and Thimbu, Bhutan

Abstract

Summary. Tests for inherited blood factors were done on samples from Lunana and Thimbu, Bhutan. Two persons in 31 from Lunana carried Haemoglobin E and five in 28 were Di (a+). Both populations appear to be related to the Tibetans, with some genes from South‐East Asia and, at Lunana, from India also.
