Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Secretor (FUT2) and lewis gene (FUT3) are in charge of the construction of histo-blood group antigens, which act as a receptor for some Pathogenes. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of five significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Iranian children. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 102 blood samples collected from hospitalized children. The FUT2 gene region was...
