Abstract excerpt
We describe the identification and molecular characterization of a novel variant O(1) allele of the ABO blood group locus. The allele was found in a young child and by analyzing the maternal DNA we were able to show that a meiotic recombination event between the maternal O(1v-3) and B(1-1) alleles recreated a O(1)/B hybrid allele. Further characterization of intron 6 sequences delineated the putative...
