I am running a Facebook page for rhesus negative people and am heavily involved in studies regarding the rh negative blood factor and rh negative people.
What has brought me to this forum to begin with is my interest in seeing if there are any genetic markers where the percentage of rh negatives amongst those with these markers is higher than in others.
Usually frequencies are measured by countries which is pretty useless to me considering oftentimes huge differences by region which for example can be seen in Chile where there is a significant amount of Basques with high rh negative percentages and also areas of natives with less than 1 percent rh negative blood.
So far I have noticed that men with R1b of course tend to have higher percentages of rh negatives (as Celtic regions generally do).
In the case of mtDNA it would be T, J, JT and V where I have detected relatively high percentages.
Unfortunately many in my network are not aware of their own genetic data, so the numbers I have are due to limited participation, even though I have entered some Facebook groups related to the above mentioned DNA markers where significant amounts of members were in fact rh negative.
Since most here seem to have taken a DNA test, I am hoping to gain some more clarity and would love to know from those who are rh negative, what their DNA results are. I am also curious what percentage of Neanderthal DNA you carry.
I apologize in advance to those of you who are rh positive as this must be boring to you.
But what I am very interested in is "going back in time" to see how blood type frequencies may have looked in ancient times and if in fact there was an "rh negative hotspot" somewhere that may lead to answers regarding subject matters such as health differences and other types of characteristics which may shine some light on questions I am trying to answer.
Thanks a lot in advance!
