Blood Groups in Sephardic Jews

Blood groups of Jewish communities worldwide have been of interest to me as have been the blood groups of the ancient Hebrews. Getting deeper into the origin of rh negative blood, all ancient tribes and their most prolific descendants today are bound to give us answer.

I have had the chance to revisit Blood Groups in Sephardic Jews and the following stands out related to the Rh Blood Group System:

The high level of cde may be due to the acquisition of a Basque component or of a Berber component from North Africa.

The frequency of chromosome cde has been marked at 26.40%.

    Funny – I was just wondering about this. I am B -. My sister is B +. I remember that my godmother (aunt) was also B -. I suspect my mom may well have been B – what with my sister and I both being B blood type and I being the younger (so the antibody issue would not have arisen if my mom was negative too) . My dad was 0+. My grandmother was a gentile but my grandfather was Jewish and that goes way back. Since my gentile gm and jewish gf had 7 children, and all lived and knowing that at least two of them were B -, (born from 1919-1928), I would imagine that my gm and gf were throwing negative genes???? That many babies could not have lived at that point in time and my grandmother had had one child with a different husband so she had many pregnancies. Just thinking off the top of my head and wondering if any of this tied into the Jewish aspect and a tendency to have the rarer type blood.
