Blood genetic markers were investigated in a sample of 111 Bedouin and 412 non-Bedouin male Arabs of Jordan. The frequencies of the ABO alleles were similar in these two groups, with a relatively high frequency of the O gene (0.63; 0.61). The frequencies of Rh genes were slightly different in these two groups, with a higher Ro and a lower r in the Bedouins. A sub-sample of a smaller size was investigated for the distribution of haptoglobin types, Tf subtypes and red-cell G6PD (glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase) phenotypes. There was no significant difference in any of the systems between the two populations. No haemoglobin variant was detected. The study confirms the Arab characteristics of Jordanians with a small degree of African admixture.
在约旦的111名贝都因男性和412名非贝都因阿拉伯男性样本中对血液遗传标记进行了研究。这两组人群中ABO等位基因的频率相似，O基因频率相对较高（分别为0.63和0.61）。两组人群中Rh基因的频率略有不同，贝都因人中Ro频率较高，r频率较低。对一个较小规模的子样本研究了触珠蛋白类型、转铁蛋白亚型和红细胞G6PD（葡萄糖6-磷酸脱氢酶）表型的分布。这两个人群在任何一个系统中均无显著差异。未检测到血红蛋白变异体。该研究证实了约旦人的阿拉伯特征以及少量的非洲血统混合。
