Identification of a novel FUT1 allele in a Chinese individual with para‐Bombay phenotype

A novel FUT1*c.889C>T allele associated with the para‐Bombay AB phenotype and computational evaluation of the mutation effect

“…The para‐Bombay phenotypes and many novel alleles on the FUT1 and FUT2 genes have been identified since the Bombay phenotype was reported in 1952 1–8 . According to the accumulated public reports, there are two para‐Bombay phenotypes.…”

“…The para-Bombay phenotypes and many novel alleles on the FUT1 and FUT2 genes have been identified since the Bombay phenotype was reported in 1952. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] According to the accumulated public reports, there are two para-Bombay phenotypes. One is an individual who possesses very few A, B, H (ABH) antigens on red blood cells (RBCs), regardless of the presence or the absence of ABH antigens in secretions, 5,[9][10][11] the other involves individual who lacks ABH antigens on RBCs, but possesses them in secretions.…”
