“…The human Fs gene, GBGT1, composed of 7 exons and located on chromosome 9 of the human genome (7), encodes for the Fs glycolipid synthase, a glycosyltransferase enzyme that catalyses Fs Ag synthesis. Humans and primates normally lack Fs synthase activity and are therefore considered Fs Ag-negative species.…”

“…The FORS blood group system was reviewed in this journal 1 and elsewhere 2 and was acknowledged by the International Society of Blood Transfusion in 2012. 3 The discovery that human red blood cells (RBCs) from rare families could express the Forssman glycolipid 4 was made 100 years after Professor Forssman (Fig.…”

This article is an update of the review of the FORS system published in Immunohematology in 2017 (Hult AK, Olsson ML. The FORS awakens: review of a blood group system reborn. Immunohematology 2017;33:64-72). This update incorporates the most recently presented knowledge on this still enigmatic system and its genetic, enzymatic, and immunological aspects. Further insight into the genetic variation and allele frequencies of the GBGT1 locus has been reported, and screening studies regarding the prevalence of naturally occurring anti-FORS1 in human plasma have been performed and presented. More basic knowledge on the specificity of the gene product, the Forssman synthase, has been obtained in several detailed studies, and its relation to the homologous ABO gene has been investigated. Taken together, we summarize recently added information about the carbohydrate-based FORS blood group system (International Society of Blood Transfusion number 031).
