background abo blood groups are associated with some important chronic diseases. obesity as a major risk factor of chronic non-communicable diseases is rising rapidly in iran as well as in developing countries. understanding the risks for obesity is important for its control. this study seeks to determine if there is any association between abo blood groups and body mass index (bmi). materials ...

Introduction Although several studies have investigated the relationship between ABO blood group and medical diseases, few reports have explored the association with oral diseases, including periodontal disease (PD). Aim The aim of this literature review was to assess the association between the ABO blood grouping and PD. Methods We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the fol...

background & aims: mistyping either a donor or a recipient can lead to transfusion with abo incompatible blood which results in severe intravascular hemolysis and may even result in the death of the recipient. abo phenotype is one of the essential tests in immunohematology. eighty percent of blood group a and ab persons are subtype a1 and a1b, respectively. the other 20% of these blood groups a...

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....

H uman leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching is critically important for successful hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplantation because the rates of engraftment and transplant outcomes are strongly influenced by the degree of match. This is largely because HLA antigens are expressed on immature pluripotent stem cells. In contrast, ABO incompatibility is not a barrier to successful HPC transp...

Distribution of A, B, AB, 0 and Rh blood groups was determined in the residents of Bahawalpur through a survey of 2036 individuals. The distribution was B, 35.26%, 0, 26.23%, A, 25.69%, and AB, 12.82%. Nintyeight percent individuals were Rh positive and 2% negative. The results when classified according to the sex showed females to be twice more Rh-negative than males and none of the 160 AB mal...

von Willebrand factor (vWF) is synthesized exclusively by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, and stored in the intracellular granules or constitutively secreted into plasma. ABO blood group antigens are covalently associated with asparagine-linked sugar chains of plasma vWF. The effect of ABO-mismatched bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or blood stem cell transplantation (BSCT) on the expres...

OBJECTIVE Aim of our study was to evaluate distribution of ABO and Rh blood type groups in children after hip surgery regarding transfusion administration and fever presence. METHODS Four types of ABO blood groups (A; B; AB; O) and 2 types of Rh blood groups (Rh+; Rh-) were evaluated in group with administered transfusion (tr+) and without given transfusion (tr-); and in group with fever (fev...
