The ABO blood group gene: a locus of considerable genetic diversity.

Transfusion medicine reviews - 1 Jul 2001

Chester M A, Olsson M L

Abstract excerpt

The blood group ABO gene shows considerable polymorphism in most of the 7 exons. Introns examined so far have also shown blood group-related polymorphisms, as has an upstream enhancer region. Several polymorphisms affect the specificity of the gene product (glycosyltransferase) and explain the occurrence of blood group A and B. Various lethal mutations result in blood group O. Other mutations are presumed to...
