Abstract excerpt
The ABO blood group gene is known to code for a glycosyltransferase, which acts at the last step of sequential extension of oligosaccharide chains attached to glycoproteins or glycolipids. Since the first delineation of the molecular basis of ABO blood group, genotype-phenotype relationship of various ABO alleles has been extensively studied. Major differences between the coding sequences of them were found to...
