Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The para-Bombay phenotype (also known as H-deficient secretor) is characterized by a lack of ABH antigens on red cells, but ABH substances are found in saliva. Molecular genetic analysis was performed for five Chinese individuals serologically typed as para-Bombay. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ABO genotyping and mutational analysis of both FUT1 (or H) and FUT2 (or Se) loci were performed for...
