Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Major characteristics of the para-Bombay phenotype are the absence of ABH antigens on red blood cells due to fucosyltransferase 1 (FUT1) gene mutation and the presence of these antigens in body secretions due to the active fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) gene. An ABO blood group discrepancy can be identified via serological testing, and additional tests can be performed for confirmation. This study aimed...
