... Example: the ABO blood types are determined by three variants of the alpha 1-3-galactosyltransferase gene (ABO), located at 9q34.2. The “A” variant produces the “A” antigen on the surface of red blood cells by adding an N-acetylgalactosamine residue to a cell surface glycoprotein called H-antigen. S ...
