ABO Blood Group Incompatibility Protects Against SARS-CoV-2 Transmission
ABO blood groups appear to be associated with the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the underlying mechanisms and their real importance remain unclear. Two hypotheses have been proposed: ABO compatibility-dependence (neutralization by anti-ABO antibodies)

ABO blood group type and risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer. [PDF]
Key Points • Non-O blood type is a time-dependent predictor of cancer-associated VTE.• Non-O blood type is associated with an increased VTE risk in patients with intermediate- and low-risk tumor types.

ABO blood group and COVID‐19: a review on behalf of the ISBT COVID‐19 Working Group
Growing evidence suggests that ABO blood group may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, with group O individuals less likely to test positive and group A conferring a higher susceptibility to infection and propensity to severe ...
