    Abstract

    The Lutheran blood group is a complex system consisting of 19 identified antigens. It belongs to the immunoglobulin family of receptors and adhesion molecules. Four pairs of antigens show allelic relationships while other antigens are of very high incidence. In this study, we performed genetic polymorphism analyses by molecular techniques of the Lutheran blood group system in Chinese subjects. Blood samples were collected from randomly-selected healthy donors and analyzed by PCR-RFLP or SBT methods. LU1/2(Lu(a)/Lu(b)), LU6/9, LU8/14, and LU18/LU19(Au(a)/Au(b)) antigen polymorphisms were detected as follows: 1102 individuals were diagnosed as Lu(a-b+) type; 117 individuals were all LU(6+9-) genotypes; 119 individuals were all LU(8+14-) genotypes. Among 368 individuals, 278 showed homozygous nt1615A, 6 showed homozygous nt1615G, and 84 showed nt1615A/G heterozygosity. The gene frequencies of Au(a) and Au(b) in Chinese subjects were 0.8695 and 0.1304 respectively. A novel allele was identified in 4 Lu(18+19-) phenotype cases from 3 families.

      Related information

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
      • Nucleotide (RefSeq)
        NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
      • Protein (RefSeq)
        NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Protein (Weighted)
        Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • Taxonomy via GenBank
        Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).
      • UniGene
        UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.
      • GEO Profiles
        Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles of molecular abundance data. The current articles are references on the Gene record associated with the GEO profile.
