A Square Peg in a Round Hole
Pakistan is among the countries with the highest prevalence of consanguineous unions, with reported rates ranging between 55% and 65%. This high level of consanguinity contributes significantly to the burden of recessive genetic disorders. The Chitrali population, an isolated community residing in the Hindu Kush mountains of northwestern Pakistan, exhibits distinct genetic and cultural characteristics. This study aimed to assess the prevalence an…
Declining consanguinity in the Jhelum population of Pakistan’s Potohar Plateau
Consanguineous unions (CUs) have long been a common practice and remain prevalent in many cultures, including those in North Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, and developing countries such as Pakistan. As Pakistan undergoes a demographic transition, characterized by rapid urbanization, declining fertility, rising educational attainment, and a shift toward nuclear families, traditional marriage patterns are evolving. Within this context, this st…
Consanguinity in northwest Pakistan
Pakistan has a high burden of hereditary and congenital anomalies and their incidence rate almost doubles against the background of parental consanguinity. Consanguineous unions (CU) are customary in Pakistan and deeply rooted socio-cultural norms favour CU. This study aimed to elucidate the determinants and temporal change in CU in four northwestern populations of Pakistan. In a cross-sectional study, data on marital union types, bio-demographic…
Consanguinity and Inbreeding Coefficient in Tribal Pashtuns Inhabiting the Turbulent and War-Affected Territory of Bajaur Agency, North-West Pakistan
The north-western populations of Pakistan in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) adjoining the Pakistan–Afghanistan border are an amalgamation of native and migrated Pashtun tribes. These tribal populations are in transition due to war conditions and geo-political turmoil on both sides of the border since the Soviet invasion in 1979. Bio-demographic and epidemiological data for these tribes are scarce. A prospective cross-sectional sam…

Distribution of ABO and Rh(D) Allelic Polymorphisms North Waziristan Agency, (Federally Administered Tribal Areas), Pakistan
This population based-study was conducted in the North Waziristan Agency (NWA) along the Pakistan-Afghan border, in order to determine the frequencies of ABO and Rh(D) blood groups. A total of 1026 subjects belonging to four tehsils (Doss Ali, Mir Ali, Miran Shah and Spin Wam) of NWA were recruited and phenotyped. The blood groups ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘AB’ and ‘O’ were found to be 27.4, 36.7, 10.9 and 25.0 percent, respectively. Similarly, Rh (+) and Rh (-)…
Pattern of Consanguinity and Inbreeding Coefficient in Sargodha District, Punjab, Pakistan
Consanguinity is widespread in Pakistan. The majority of studies on consanguinity in Pakistan have been carried out in urban metropolitan areas, and data on rural populations are scarce. The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Sargodha district, upper Punjab, Pakistan where the majority of the population reside in rural areas. A random sample of 1800 married females belonging to six tehsils of Sargodha district was obtained and differe…
Genetic Diversity at ABO and Rh (D) Loci in the Tribal Groups of Mohmand Agency (Federally Administered Tribal Areas), Pakistan
This study was aimed at determining the frequencies of ABO and Rh blood groups in the population of Mohmand Agency, which is a severely war-affected territory in the North-West Pakistan. A total of 1,019 unrelated subjects (963 males, 56 females) consented to participate in this study. Frequencies of blood types ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘AB’ and ‘O’ were observed to be 31.9 percent, 27.9 percent, 11.0 percent and 29.2 percent, respectively, while 87.6 percent s…
ABO and Rh (D) Blood Groups Polymorphism in Four Tehsils of Bajaur Agency (Federally Administered Tribal Areas), Pakistan
The tribal populations at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border are of great scientific interest because of their transitionary status which is due to the volatile law-and-order situation in this region from the last few decades. The present study aimed at elucidating the ABO and Rh blood groups polymorphisms in the Bajaur population, which is a war affected territory in the in north-western Pakistan. Blood groups data were obtained from 1,200 unrelate…
