Abstract
Blood samples of 811 mother-child pairs from Bengalee Hindu caste grou ps were utilised to study the interaction between ABO blood groups and haptoglobin systems. There was no significant difference in the hapto globin distribution between mothers and children. Significantly higher incidences of HP1 were noted in the offspring born to ABO-incompatib le mother-child combinations in comparision to offspring born to ABO-c ompatible combinations.
