Blood Groups and MN-Types of Eskimos. II (District of Julianehaab, West Greenland)

From the Institute for General Pathology of the University of Copenhagen

Abstract

A report is given of the blood-grouping of 1063 persons in the southern district of Julianehaab, West Greenland. The distribution of the blood-types of pure Eskimos is different from that of the more mixed Greenlanders. The percentile distribution found for the former was: O, 36.33; A, 54.64; B, 5.30; AB, 3.71; and for the latter: O, 55.05; A, 36.70; B, 5.26; AB, 2.99. The frequency of types M, MN, and N in nearly pure Eskimos was: M: 66.16, MN: 30.97, N: 2.86.

This confirms the author's previous observation that a low N-value is a characteristic anthropological feature of the Greenland Eskimos.
