Abstract:

Objective: To investigate serological identification complemented with gene detection for the verification of difficult ABO blood group. Methods: Seven specimens of difficult ABO blood type cases were serologically stereotyped positively and negatively (saliva blood group substance identification or absorb-diffusion test was added if necessary), and ABO, H, SE gene detection was performed by PCR amplification and direct sequencing. Results: Serological phenotypes of 7 ABO difficult blood group specimens were: 3 cases of para-Bombay blood group, 2 cases of B(A), 2 cases of Bw. Gene detection showed that alleles with H gene mutation were present in all 3 cases of para-Bombay blood group, including 1 case of FUT1* 01N.13/01N.13 and 2 cases of FUT1* 01N.06/01N.06. Three cases of ABO subtype showed 1 case of BA.04/O.01.02, 1 case of BA.04/O.01.01, and 1 case of B3.03/O.01.01. One case of ABO subtype had no ABO gene mutation detected. Conclusions: Gene detection is significant for the identification of para-Bombay blood group and some ABO subtypes, including B(A) subtype, and is a beneficial supplement for serological identification.

Key words: ABO subtype, para-Bombay blood group, ABO gene, FUT1 gene
