Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanism for the formation of the P1/P2 blood groups remains unsolved. It has been shown that the P1/P2 polymorphism is connected to the different A4GALT gene expression levels in P1 and P2 red blood cells. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The present investigation conducted a pilot investigation that involved the detailed and stepwise screening of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the...
