Sex Ratio and the ABO Blood Group System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 1954
An interesting association between the sex ratio at birth and the ABO blood group system has been demonstrated by Sanghvi (1951). He showed, in each of two population samples, one from New York and the other from Bombay, that the sex ratio (percentage of males) of Group O infants of Group O mothers was significantly higher than that of Group A infants ...

Novel evidence that the ABO blood group shapes erythropoiesis and results in higher hematocrit for blood group B carriers

open access: yesLeukemia, 2023
The ABO blood group (BG) system is of great importance for blood transfusion and organ transplantation. Since the same transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) govern the expression of ABO BG antigens and regulate erythropoiesis, we ...
