Polymorphism: help Genetic variations in ABO define the ABO blood group system [MIM:616093]. The ABO blood group system is one of the most important blood group systems in transfusion medicine. The ABO blood group involves 3 carbohydrate antigens: A, B, and H. A, B, and AB individuals express a glycosyltransferase activity that converts the H antigen to the A antigen (by addition of UDP-GalNAc) or to the B antigen (by addition of UDP-Gal). There are only 4 amino acid differences between A and B transferases in the catalytic domain, two of which (Leu266Met and Gly268Ala) are primarily responsible for the substrate specificity. The group O phenotype results from variations in ABO that cause a loss of glycosyltransferase activity. The most common group O allele results from a single nucleotide deletion near the 5' end of the gene (NM_020469.2:c.261del) that causes a frameshift and early termination with no active enzyme production (p.Thr88Profs*31).
