Abstract:
In this report, we describe the identification of a novel allele HLA-A*0128, which was found in a registered donor from China Marrow Donor Program. The A*0128 allele differs from the A*0113 by one nucleotide substitutions in exon 2 at position 282 (G-->C). The mutation results in a codon change: at codon 70 where a glutamine acid is substituted by a histidine acid.

01:05Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
02:20Blood Types
Human blood is classified into different types based on the presence of antigens on the red blood cell's surface and antibodies in the plasma. Proper identification of blood type is essential for successful blood transfusion. The International Society of Blood Transfusion has identified 38 human blood types based on the surface antigens on the red blood cells. The most common types are ABO, Rh, and MNS blood types.
