Since the MNS blood group system does not exhaust the total degrees of freedom under the Wright's equilibrium law, it was felt that the peculiar problems facing the detection of F (the fixation coefficient of Wright's model) from ABO blood group data may not be totally relevant to the MNS system. To verify this, a short discussion on the detection of F from MNS blood group data is given here.
