The distribution ratio was studied (𝑹𝒉+𝒗𝒆) ratio in (9327) individual males and females, samples showed high incidence in (𝑶+𝒗𝒆) ratio as followed (3127) (33.53 %) While (𝑨𝑩+𝒗𝒆) showed low distribution ratio in all studied samples (766) (8.21 %). Samples showed high ratio in (𝑶−𝒗𝒆) (246) (43.93 %), while showed low ratio in (𝑨𝑩−𝒗𝒆) (27) (4.71 %).
