Abstract
The distribution of phenotypic frequencies of ABO, Rh(D) system and Hp polymorphism in a sample from Muscat, Oman, revealed the following gene frequencies: P=0.164, q=0.110, r=0.726; D=0.738, d=0.262; Hp1=0.289 and Hp2=0.711. These frequencies are in good agreement with the distribution in the Euroasiatic continent.
