Abstract excerpt
We report a mechanism linking an intronic ABO splicing mutation to weak A antigen expression. A two-base deletion in intron 1 (c.28 + 2_28 + 3delTG) disrupts canonical splicing, causing aberrant extension of the cytoplasmic tail of the A-type glycosyltransferase (GTA), a key biological macromolecule responsible for blood group biosynthesis. Integration of long-read sequencing, splicing assays, and molecular...
