Abstract

Study concerning the possible impact of ABO antigens relations between parental and filial generations has been studied using population genetics analysis of mating system in the three samples of pregnancies (births), different with regard to the estimated “a priori” pregnancy risk. The evidence obtained supports the view that the ABO incompatibilities do not affect significantly the fertility of the mating pairs.
