This study aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located near the gene of the ABO blood group play an important role in the genetic aetiology of menstrual disorders (MDs). Polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction technology was used to detect eight SNPs near the ABO gene location on the chromosomes in 250 cases of MD and 250 cases of normal menstruation....

Since the work of Boorman, Dodd and Trinick (1949), incompatibility in the ABO system has been recognized with increasing frequency as a cause of haemolytic disease. Robinson, Phillips and Prystowsky (1951), Shumway, Miller and Young (1955), Davidsohn (1956) and others have written on this condition. And yet haemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility is much less widely known than that due t...

the abo and rh blood groups of 9753 pregnant women were determined in the amin maternity hospital, isfahan, iran, from march 23, 1976 to july 11, 1977. their abo blood group frequencies were calculated as follows: 0=38.20%, a=30.67%, b=23.84% and ab=7.26%. also, 90.02% of the women were rh positive and the rest, namely, 9.98% were rh negative.

L IVER ALLOGRAfTS are resistant to hyperacute or antibody mediated rejection from preformed antibodies. No consistent syndrome develops following transplantation when a recipient harbors preformed Iymphocytotoxic antibodies.1.2 The only apparent deleterious effect of preformed Iymphocytotoxic antibodies is a higher incidence of the "vanishing hile duct syndrome.") Despite these clinical observa...

The aim of this study was to investigate the serology and gene sequence characteristics of the A307 subgroup of ABO blood group. Monoclonal anti-A and anti-B antibodies were used to detect the ABO antigens of a proband whose positive blood type was not consistent with the negative blood type of ABO blood group. Meanwhile, standard A-, B-, and O-negative typing cells were used to test for ABO an...

Ovarian reserve reflects a woman's fertility potential. The ABO blood group system is a very stable genetic marker. Although many recent studies have explored the relationship between ABO blood group and ovarian reserve, a consensus has not yet been reached. This paper is the first meta-analysis and systematic review of the relationship between ABO blood type and ovarian reserve. We analyzed se...

In the past, ABO blood group incompatibility was considered an absolute contraindication for kidney transplantation. Progress in defined desensitization practice and immunologic understanding has allowed increasingly successful ABO incompatible transplantation during recent years. This paper focused on the history, disserted outcomes, desensitization modalities and protocols, posttransplant imm...

Attaining Board Certification should be a goal of every orthodontic resident, orthodontic educator, and practicing orthodontist. The Board Certification process requires commitment, persistence, firmness of purpose, and sacrifice. Procrastination is the first error along the way to becoming certified. There are many reasons in support of achieving Board Certification, but undoubtedly the most s...

ABO blood groups are known to influence the plasma level of von Willebrand factor (VWF), but little is known about the relationship between ABO and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). We analyzed the influence of ABO genotypes on VWF antigen, FVIII activity, and their quantitative relationship in 11,673 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. VWF, FVIII, and FVIII/VWF...
