Characterization of a novel B(A) allele with BBBA type at the ABO blood group

Abstract: The ABO blood group is one of the main blood group systems, and it plays an important role in transfusion medicine and transplantation. To date, most of the many ABO subgroups with a weak expression of the A or B antigen on red blood cells have been elucidated to have specific molecular genetic background with respect to the ABO gene. The ABO*B(A) allele or CisAB allele is a type of dual ABO allele which can encode glycosyltransferases responsible for the conversion of H substance to both A and B antigen. We r… Show more

“…In fact, the distinction between the two alleles has no clinical implication. The ABO*cisAB.05 and ABO*BA.06 alleles have been reported only in one Chinese subject with an A 2 B phenotype [4,14]. However, B(A) blood group types and ABO*cisAB.05 allele have never been confirmed by molecular analysis, although other alleles of cis-AB blood group, such as ABO*cisAB.01 and ABO*cisAB.04, have been reported in Korean and Japanese populations [12].…”

“…To date, eleven classifications of ABO*cisAB alleles presenting various cisAB phenotypes have been reported globally [14]. Four amino acid positions (p.Arg176Gly, p.Gly235Ser, p.Leu266Met, and p.Gly268Ala) were found critical in altering the specificity of transfer from GTA (A-synthesizing α1-3 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase) to GTB (B-synthesizing α1-3 galactosyltransferase) [16]. One of the very earliest studies by Yamamoto et al identified an allele that differs from A1.02 by one variant c.803G>C (p.Gly268Ala) results in an A antigen exhibiting B antigen features which leads to mistyping of ABO grouping [17].…”

“…In this study, the results of cross-matching were negative in all pairs ( Table 1 ). Specifically, we examined ABO blood groups because they are the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility in humans; blood type is determined from allelic variation at the ABO gene, which encodes a glycosyltransferase [ 25 , 26 ]. We found only type A among our marmoset samples, corroborating previous reports at three marmoset facilities that the primates were all type A [ 26 ].…”
