Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: ABO is a blood group system of high clinical significance due to the prevalence of ABO variation that can cause major, potentially life-threatening, transfusion reactions. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Using multiple large-scale next-generation sequence data sets, we demonstrate the application of read-depth approaches to discover previously unsuspected structural variation (SV) in the ABO gene in...
