[Serological and molecular studies of a rare A subgroup]
Objective:
To determine the genotype of an individual suspected for Aw through DNA sequencing.
Methods:
Serologic testing was carried out with standard methods. Exons 6 and 7 of the ABO genes were amplified by PCR and subjected to direct sequencing or sequenced after gene cloning.
Results:
Serological testing showed that the forward typing and reverse typing were Aw and A, respectively. DNA sequencing revealed that the individual has carried an Aw allele and an O allele. Haplotype sequencing of each allele has revealed a nt543 variant (543G>C) in the Aw allele.
Conclusion:
The individual was verified as a rare A subtype, which was previously unreported in mainland China.
