Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Blood group A and B antigens are synthesized by glycosyltransferases regulated by a complex molecular genetic background. A multibase deletion in the ABO gene was identified in two related blood donors. To define its hereditary character and to evaluate genotype-phenotype associations, a detailed study including 30 family members was conducted. METHODS AND MATERIALS: ABO phenotyping was performed with...
