ASSOCIATION OF ABO BLOOD GROUP AND BREAST CANCER- A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY IN ERBIL CITY

The current study included 200 patients with breast cancer that resemble to patient samples were collected from AL-Nassyria hospital also 279 samples as control which was collected from blood bank at ALNassiryia province . The study attempted to correlate ABO blood group with incidence to breast cancer .The results shown that type A of ABO blood group high frequency then followed by type O with in AL-Nassyria region also the results reported that A, B, O and AB blood groups frequencies of patient samples percentage were 60%, 20%, 10% and 10% respectively as well as the ABO blood groups frequencies of control samples percentage were 26%, 28%,38% and 8% respectively. The results observed there is high significant differences between ABO blood group frequencies of cancer patients and ABO blood group frequencies of control samples .The results indicated that the blood type should be considered one of risk factor as well as regarded as preclinical marker.

Purpose: to assess the frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups among Saudi and non-Saudi healthy blood donors and to compare between them. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted; in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. It included 15,365 participants of 44 nationalities who have attended the blood bank of King Abdul Aziz Hospital. The collected data were age, sex, nationality, ABO, and Rhesus blood groups. Results: 46.8 % of the participants were O, 28.8 % A, 19.5 % B, and 4.9% AB. The nationalities with a higher frequency of blood group O were Saudi, Mauritanian, Yemeni, Thai, Malian, Sudanese, Jordanian, Indian, Moroccan, Somali, Malaysian, Indonesian, Myanmar, Nigerian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Algerian, Djibouti, Burkinabe, Eritrean, Ghanaian, Bahraini, Bosnian, Canadian, Gambian, Iraqi, and Sri Lankan. Those with a higher frequency of blood group A were Turkish, Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian, Afghan, Chadian, French, Tunisian, Cameroonian, Ethiopian, and British. Those with a higher frequency of B were Nigerien, American, Nepalese, and two nationalities with higher AB frequency Filipino and Chinese. 91.6 % of all populations were Rh-positive, and 8.4% were Rh-negative. The Saudi participants were like some nationalities and differed from others. Conclusion: In Makkah city, the higher frequency of ABO blood group in Saudi and non -Saudi people is O followed by A, then B, and AB. The Rh-positive is predominant, and 8.4% of the participants are negative. The ABO and Rh blood groups' identifications are essential for providing suitable blood storage for individuals in need.

Abo Blood Type

1572 Background: The role of genetic factors in the development of cancer is widely accepted. ABO blood type is an inherited characteristic and previous studies have observed an association between ABO blood group and risk of certain malignancies, including pancreatic and gastric cancer. The data on the role of ABO blood group and Rh factor in breast cancer is inconclusive. Methods: All patients who had breast cancer (BC) and treated between 2000-2010 at the Departments of Medical Oncology of both Ankara and Hacettepe Universities (Ankara, Turkey) with defined ABO blood type and Rh factor were included in our retrospective reviews of tumor registry records. A group of volunteer healthy women donors of Turkish Red Crescent between 2004-2011 were identified as a control group, without any matching factors. The relationship of ABO blood types and Rh factor with various prognostic factors such as age at diagnosis, menopausal status, family history of breast cancer, and ER/PR/HER2 status were evaluated from 1740 BC patients. We compared the distributions of ABO blood types, Rh factors among 1740 patients and 204,553 healthy controls. Among BC patients, differences between each of aforementioned ABO blood groups and Rh factors with respect to various prognostic factors were explored, respectively. Results: Overall distributions of ABO blood groups as well as Rh factor were comparable between patients (44% A, 8% AB, 16% B, 32% O, 88% Rh+) and controls (41% A, 8% AB, 16% B, 35% O, 87% Rh+). However, there were statistically significant differences between patients and controls with respect to A vs. nonA (p=0.019) and marginal significance (p=0.051) for O vs. nonO. Among patients, there were statistically significant differences between A and nonA with respect to HER2 (p=0.0421), M stage (p=0.0447), T stage (p=0.0020). Only T stage (p=0.0337) were significantly different between O vs nonO. Grade (p=0.0227) and M stage (p=0.0107) were significantly different between Rh factors. Conclusions: In our study sample, ABO blood type was statistically significantly associated with breast cancer. Additional studies are necessary to determine the mechanisms by which ABO blood type may influence the risk of breast cancer.
