Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations critical for ABO blood group phenotypes have predominantly been found in exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene, both of which encode the catalytic domain of ABO glycosyltransferase. To design rapid and reliable ABO genotyping assays, a profound knowledge of the prevalent alleles is required and a reliable sequence database needs to be established. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A PCR screening system was...
