Abstract
The 547G>A polymorphism demonstrates significant allelic competition in people who harborthe B306 allele. We have performed the full sequencing of ABO gene in family members and measuredtheir serum glycosyltransferase activity for demonstrating the cause of allelic competition. Genetic studyincluding two regulatory regions and exon 1, and exons 2-7 of ABO gene demonstrated c.547G>A in exon7 of the proband and her second son. The ABO genotype of the proband, husband, first son, and other sonwas ABO*A102/ABO*B306, ABO*A105/ABO*O02, ABO*A102/ABO*O02, and ABO*B306/ABO*O02 respectively. Serum glycosyltransferse B activity in the proband and her second son was lower than in normalB controls. We infer that allelic competition in the the 547G>A carrying individuals is associated withreduced activity of glycosyltransferase B.
