ABOH and Se Flashcards
Most important blood group system
ABO
What is the inheritance pattern for A B and O antigens
A and B are co-dominant over O (recessive)
Which chromosome are ABO alleles on
Chromosome 19
Which substrate are ABO antigen built on
H
Precursor for H
Type 2 precursor chain
Name for the H gene
FUT1 gene (built on type 2 precursor chain)
Transferase that the H gene codes for
L-fucosyl transferace (L-fucose)
Chromosome location for ABO vs H
ABO- chromosome 9
H- chromosome 19
What type of gene is O
Amorph recessive
What transferase does A code for
N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
(N-Acetylgalactosamine sugar, also called N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine)
What transferase does B code for
D Galactosyl transferase (D-galactose sugar)
If you inherit both A and B, which one will have more antigens? (AB type)
B is more competitive and there will be more B than A antigens
At what age do ABO antigens develop
5-6 weeks gestation
At what age do ABO antigens fully develop
2-4 years
