BACKGROUND: The 1061delC single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been reported mostly in the context of the common A(2)[A201] allele and typically produces an A(2) phenotype. This study evaluated new A(weak) alleles, each containing 1061delC. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty samples were referred to our laboratory for analysis due to suspected A(weak) phenotypes originally detected at the referring centers. ABO...
