Six splice site variations, three of them novel, in the ABO gene occurring in nine individuals with ABO subtypes
Abstract Background Nucleotide mutations in the ABO gene may reduce the activity of glycosyltransferase, resulting in lower levels of A or B antigen expression in red blood cells. Six known splice sites have been identified according to the database of red cell immunogenetics and the blood group ter...
