Abstract excerpt
We investigated the polymorphisms in the 5'-upstream region between nucleotide position (nt) -9600 and nt-4105 of the ABO blood group gene using PCR and direct sequencing methods. We found 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms, two insertion-deletion polymorphisms and two sequence polymorphisms. One of the insertion-deletion polymorphisms was found at nts from -9605 to -9204, and the alleles of that locus were named...
