ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood group antigens are hereditary characters and are useful in population genetic studies, in resolving medico-legal issues and more importantly in compatibility test in blood transfusion practice. Data on frequency distribution of ABO and Rh-D in Niger-Delta region of Nigeria are not available; hence we made an attempt to retrospectively analyze the records on the blood donors, transfusion recipients and patients attending antenatal care or some other medical interventions. Over a twenty-year period between 1986 and 2005, a total of 160,431 blood samples were grouped for ABO and Rh-D at the blood bank of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. Blood group distribution among these samples showed phenotypes A, B, AB and O as 23.72%, 20.09%, 2.97% and 53.22%, respectively. The Rh-D negative phenotype was found among 6.01% of the samples tested.
ABO血型和恒河猴（Rh）血型抗原是遗传性状，在群体遗传学研究、解决法医学问题方面很有用，更重要的是在输血实践中的相容性检测中发挥作用。关于尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区ABO血型和Rh-D血型频率分布的数据尚无可用信息；因此，我们尝试回顾性分析献血者、输血接受者以及接受产前护理或其他医疗干预的患者的记录。在1986年至2005年的二十年期间，尼日利亚贝宁城贝宁大学教学医院血库共对160431份血样进行了ABO血型和Rh-D血型分组。这些样本中的血型分布显示，A、B、AB和O血型的表型分别为23.72%、20.09%、2.97%和53.22%。在6.01%的检测样本中发现了Rh-D阴性表型。
