Abstract excerpt
A novel A subgroup allele (c.538C>T p.Arg180Cys) showing weak A phenotype was found in a 30-year-old Korean woman with ABO discrepancy. Using 3D structural analysis, protein stability prediction and flow cytometric analysis of ABO antigen expression on HeLa cells transfected with plasmids containing the p.Arg180Cys mutant, we found that the Arg180 residue in the loop region of the A glycosyltransferases (GTA)...
