Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rare individuals (Bombay and para-Bombay phenotypes) fail to express the A, B and H antigens on erythrocyte membranes because of a lack in the H gene (FUT1)-encoded alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase activity. In this study, we have found a para-Bombay individual (Bmh) who ex...
