ABO Blood Groups Flashcards
Describe the biochemistry of ABO blood groups
carbs/receptors for
can be what shapes
carbs on outside serve as receptors for macrophages to recognize
can be branchy/straight arranged in a format means its type 2
What type can be on the outside of the cell and be transferrred into ABO ag
Type 2 can
Describe the ABO gene
codes for..
codes for transferase that adds a sugar to the end of the H subgroup or RBC
What happens if the ABO stop codon is in gene?
no transferase is created and no sugar is added, pt is type O
What does A transferase add?
N-Acetyl-galactose
What does B transferase add?
Galactose
What chromosome is ABO blood groups?
Chromosome 9
Anti-A Anti-B. Anti-A,B
+. - +
Type A
Anti-A Anti-B. Anti-A,B
- + +
Type B
Anti-A Anti-B. Anti-A,B
+ + +
AB type
Anti-A Anti-B. Anti-A,B
- - -
O type
Describe inheritence
If genotype is unknown
if the genotype of an offspring is unknown, phenotype expression in offspring give clues
the offspring of a mother who is AB and a father who is B will have what chance of being what type?
50% chance of being type B
Describe A/B genes
on same what?
co-dominant allels on the same chromosome where O is the recessive trait
Describe medellian %
apply to genotypic inheritence of the ABO types
familial inh. map can help guess at genotype using phenotype
Blood types: A,B,AB,O
Describe the US population frequency
expressions in different world locations
selection pressures/probably pathogen driven
Describe the greater prevelence of blood types in ethnicities
A - north/central europe
B - central asia
O - native americans
What is the most common blood type
O
Describe H genes
codes a ….
codes a fucosyl transferase that adds a fucose to the outer sugar of a type 1/2 precursor chain
What chromosome are H substances and what is their gene
Chromosome 19
Fut gene
T/F the more H substance that is transferrred to an A/B ag, the more detectable it is
false, the less detectable it is
List the common blood types with >
