1. Molecular Genetic Studies of the Blood Group ABO Locus in Man
Abstract : The ABO blood group system is undoubtedly the most important genetic and phenotypic marker in clinical transfusion medicine. The A and B determinants are immunodominant, terminally located carbohydrate residues of glycoconjugates on erythrocytes and other cell surfaces. READ MORE

2. Studies on the Polymorphism and Transcriptional Regulation of the ABO and P1PK Histo-blood Group Genes
Abstract : Antigens of the clinically important ABO and P1PK blood group systems are carbohydrate structures. Thus the underlying genes do not encode antigens directly but glycosyltransferases that add specific sugar molecules to selected precursor chains. READ MORE

3. Studies of the ABO and FORS Histo-Blood Group Systems: Focus on Flow Cytometric and Genetic Analysis
Abstract : ABO is the clinically most important blood group system and its antigens are carbohydrate moieties present on the surface of the red blood cell (RBC) but also on other tissues throughout the body. The ABO gene encodes an enzyme, a glycosyltransferase (GT),that adds a terminal monosaccharide to the precursor structure, H antigen, to define the A or B antigens. READ MORE

4. Genetic Characterisation of Human ABO Blood Group Variants with a Focus on Subgroups and Hybrid Alleles
Abstract : ABO is the most important blood group system in transfusion medicine and transplantation immunology. The ABO blood groups differ by the presence or absence of antigens on RBCs and antibodies in plasma. Accurate determination of ABO status is critical. Genomic typing can increase the precision of blood group determination in complicated cases, e. READ MORE

5. Molecular genetics of human carbohydrate defined blood groups. Studies of the ABO and P blood group systems
Abstract : The aim of this study was to explore the molecular genetics of the carbohydrate defined blood group ABO and P systems.The blood group ABO system is the clinically most significant system in transfusion medicine. Using modern molecular biology, a number of the ABO alleles have been characterized. READ MORE
