Molecular basis of blood group expression.

Abstract excerpt

Antigen diversity arises from changes at the gene level that range from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to intra- and inter-genic exchanges, inversions, insertions, and deletions. Nucleotide changes often result in amino acid difference from the wild-type gene product and with those changes new blood group antigens arise. Alternatively, there is loss of expression altogether, which is deemed the 'null'...
