EVOLUTION Correction for “The ABO blood group is a trans-species polymorphism in primates,” by Laure Ségurel, Emma E. Thompson, Timothée Flutre, Jessica Lovstad, Aarti Venkat, Susan W. Margulis, Jill Moyse, Steve Ross, Kathryn Gamble, Guy Sella, Carole Ober, and Molly Przeworski, which appeared in issue 45, November 6, 2012, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (109:18493–18498; first published October 22, 2012; 10.1073/pnas.1210603109). The authors note that Fig. 1 appeared incorrectly. Some ABO polymorphism statuses have been corrected. The corrected figure and its legend appear below.

The ABO blood group is a trans-species polymorphism in primates.
The ABO histo-blood group, the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility, was the first genetic polymorphism discovered in humans. Remarkably, ABO antigens are also polymorphic in many other primates, with the same two amino acid changes responsible for A and B specificity in all species sequenced to date. Whether this recurrence of A and B antigens is the result of an ancient polymor...
متن کاملAn integrative evolution theory of histo-blood group ABO and related genes
The ABO system is one of the most important blood group systems in transfusion/transplantation medicine. However, the evolutionary significance of the ABO gene and its polymorphism remained unknown. We took an integrative approach to gain insights into the significance of the evolutionary process of ABO genes, including those related not only phylogenetically but also functionally. We experimen...
متن کاملAncestry runs deeper than blood: The evolutionary history of ABO points to cryptic variation of functional importance
The ABO histo-blood group, first discovered over a century ago, is found not only in humans but also in many other primate species, with the same genetic variants maintained for at least 20 million years. Polymorphisms in ABO have been associated with susceptibility to a large number of human diseases, from gastric cancers to immune or artery diseases, but the adaptive phenotypes to which the p...
متن کاملThe ABO Blood Group System and Plasmodium Infection in Iran: A Comprehensive Study
Background: Geographical distribution of ABO blood groups affects by race, ethnicity, migration and some infectious agents, such as Plasmodium species. P. falciparum is the major causative agent of death in malaria that can affect ABO blood group distribution in different populations. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to determine the effect of p. falciparum on ABO blood group d...
متن کاملAssociation and Distribution of Hypertension, Obesity and ABO Blood groups in Blood Donors
Abstract Background Hypertension is a major health problem, especially because it has no clear symptoms. It is strongly correlated with modifiable risk factors such as adiposities, age, stress, high salt intake. Overweight and obesity is conveniently determined from BMI and visceral adiposity is determined by waist circumference. ABO blood group is one such factor which needs to be investiga...
