摘要

An ABO genotype screening method discriminating the common alleles A(1), A(2) B, O-1 and O-2 at the ABO locus was made possible by the discovery of a novel nucleotide substitution (G1096A) present only in B and O-2 alleles. A rapid and reliable single-tube approach using multiplex PCR with four primers amplifying exons 6 and 7 of the ABO genes followed by simultaneous addition of two restriction enzymes was developed and validated in a population of 150 Swedish blood donors, This technique is the most cost-efficient and informative ABO genotyping method reported to date.
