BGMUT Database of Allelic Variants of Genes Encoding Human Blood Group Antigens

Abstract: The Blood group antigen Gene MUTation (BGMUT) database documents variations in genes of human blood group systems. In March 2014, the database, accessible at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gv/mhc/xslcgi.cgi?cmd=bgmut, listed 1,545 alleles of 44 genes of 34 blood group systems. Besides allelic information, the BGMUT resource also presents comprehensive and current information on blood group systems. This review describes the database and notes its utility for the transfusion medicine and human genetics communities.

“…1 These immunohematological molecular analyses have been contributing to the study of genes related to antigens and also to the understanding of a great number of polymorphisms; 2,3 nevertheless, they do not provide information regarding quantitative analyses, nor distribution, of the antigens on red blood cell (RBC) membrane surfaces. 4 Analyses of antigen expressions are to this day performed by using methods based on hemagglutination, which can be performed in tube, microplate, and gel, with different potentiating reaction solutions.…”
