ABO transcript levels in peripheral blood and erythropoietic culture show different allele-related patterns independent of the CBF/NF-Y enhancer motif and multiple novel allele-specific variations in the 5'- and 3'-noncoding regions.

Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mechanisms regulating the ABO gene are unclear, especially in the hematopoietic compartment. The number of 43-bp repeats in the CBF/NF-Y-binding enhancer region is considered to have a major influence on transcription. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Transcript levels in peripheral blood and in erythropoietic culture of CD34+ cells from marrow donors were measured with TaqMan assays. The 5'-regulatory...
