Heterogeneity of O blood group in India: Peeping through the window of molecular biology

Abstract: BACKGROUND:Molecular genotyping of ABO blood group system has identified more than 60 “O” group alleles based on the single-nucleotide polymorphisms present in the ABO gene. Heterogeneity of O group alleles has been observed in various countries from South America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia. India is a vast country with more than 1300 million population which is divided into various ethnic and tribal groups. However, very little is known about the heterogeneity of O alleles in Indians.MATERIALS AND METHODS… Show more

“…PCR-SSCP can be used to detect sequence differences, but its sensitivity decreases with increasing DNA fragment lengths. SSCP has been previously used in cancer prognosis ( 69 , 70 ), asthma ( 71 ), blood group test ( 72 ), Gilbert syndrome ( 73 ), diabetes ( 74 ), respiratory distress syndrome ( 75 ), male varicocele infertility ( 76 ), gastric mucosa ( 77 ), traditional Chinese medicine ( 78 ), bacterial DNA detection ( 79 ) and identification of Trichomonas vaginalis ( 80 ).…”

“…Detection of somatic mutations in cancer, genes responsible for hereditary diseases, polymorphisms and other applications are described in detail at Kakavas et al [ 8 – 10 ]. Recent researches in the last 4 years shows dispersion of SSCP method in the above applications: on cancer prognosis [ 11 , 12 ], on asthma disease [ 13 ], on blood groups [ 14 ], on gilbert’s syndrome [ 15 ], on diabetes disease [ 16 ], on respiratory distress syndrome [ 17 ], on infertile men with varicocele [ 18 ], on gastric mucosa [ 19 ], on traditional Chinese medicine [ 20 ], detection of bacterial DNA [ 21 ], identification of trichomonas vaginalis [ 22 ].…”
