Sex Ratio and the ABO Blood Group System [PDF]
An interesting association between the sex ratio at birth and the ABO blood group system has been demonstrated by Sanghvi (1951). He showed, in each of two population samples, one from New York and the other from Bombay, that the sex ratio (percentage of males) of Group O infants of Group O mothers was significantly higher than that of Group A infants ...
