Abstract excerpt

We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the coding region in the last two coding exons of ABO genes (which occupy 91% of the soluble form of A1 transferase) from 7 individuals with weak subgroup phenotypes. Four of the individuals had an A3 phenotype and 3 individuals had a B3 phenotype. W...
