Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We had classified the M alleles of the MN blood group system into two subtypes, M(G) (standard M) and M(T), based on a G/T substitution in intron 1 of the glycophorin A (GPA) gene. This study provides further study on nucleotide sequences of M(G), M(T) and N alleles to profile the new allele, M(T). MATERIALS AND METHODS: M(G), M(T) and N alleles of the GPA gene were amplified using GPA...
