INTRODUCTION Inherited ABO blood groups have been shown to play possible contributions in the pathogenesis of various gynecologic and non-gynecologic carcinomas. With regard to gynecologic carcinomas, there is a confined number of studies that explored the relationship between ABO blood group and endometrial carcinoma (EC) in the PubMed-indexed literature. To the best of our knowledge, no such ...

INTRODUCTION Numerous publications indicate that the prevalence of some infectious, neoplastic and immunological diseases are associated with ABO blood groups. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to verify whether ABO and Rh blood groups are associated with severe anaphylactic reactions after Hymenoptera stings. MATERIAL AND METHODS A study was undertaken of 71,441 Caucasian subjects living...

The influence of blood group types on development of brain tumors is unclear since there are conflicting reports from surveys regarding the distribution of ABO blood groups and primary intracranial neoplasms. The present descriptive, retrospective study was therefore made of 907 patients with reliable records for ABO blood groups and proven histological diagnosis who were hospitalized with brai...

The aim of this study was to investigate the serology and gene sequence characteristics of the A307 subgroup of ABO blood group. Monoclonal anti-A and anti-B antibodies were used to detect the ABO antigens of a proband whose positive blood type was not consistent with the negative blood type of ABO blood group. Meanwhile, standard A-, B-, and O-negative typing cells were used to test for ABO an...

BACKGROUND Characterization of the ABO blood group at the phenotype and genotype levels is clinically essential for transfusion, forensics, and population studies. This study elucidated ABO phenotypes and genotypes, and performed an evaluation of their distribution in individuals from the western region of Saudi Arabia. METHODS One-hundred and seven samples underwent standard serological tech...

Pancreatic cancer is among the most aggressive types of cancer. It has mortality rates as the seventh most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide. The association between ABO blood group and risk of pancreatic cancer has been known for more than 40 years.Various studies, in detail, although conflicting on many occasions, on large population groups, cohort studies, case-control studies, retros...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Monoclonal anti-A and anti-B antibodies were used to detect the ABO antigens of a proband whose positive blood type was not consistent with the negative blood type of the ABO blood group.

Along with their expression on red blood cells, ABO blood group antigens (namely, A, B, AB and O) are also highly expressed by a large number of human cells and tissues including epithelia, platelets, vascular endothelia and neurons1,2. Over the last 50 years, various investigators have assessed whether this biological characteristic of the ABO blood system has a clinical significance beyond th...
