The FORS awakens: review of a blood group system reborn.

Immunohematology - 1 Jun 2017

Hult Annika K, Olsson Martin L

Abstract excerpt

CONCLUSIONS: The presence of the FORS1 antigen on red blood cells was discovered relatively recently, and in 2012, the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) acknowledged FORS as blood group system number 031. This rare antigen is carried by a glycosphingolipid and formed by elongation of the P antigen. Most people have naturally occurring anti-FORS1 in their plasma. The clinical significance of these...
