OBJECTIVE To analyze the sequence difference between human A, B, and O alleles and establish the method of ABO genotyping by PCR direct sequencing. METHODS PCR-direct sequencing technique was used to analyze two regions of cDNA from A transferase gene, 233-433 and 660-788. RESULTS Two nucleotide substitutions at 258th and 297th were found in 233-433 region, and a nucleotide substitution at 700th was found in 660-788 region. At 258th, the nucleotide was guanine in A and B alleles, and adenine in O allele. At 297th, the nucleotide was adenine in A allele, and guanine in B allele. As this position, O allele was subdivided into two types, O(A) and O(G). At 700th, the nucleotide was guanine in A and O alleles, and adenine in B allele. Therefore, 8 genotypes, AA, AO(A), AB, BB, BO(G), O(A) O(A), O(G) O(G) and O(A) O(G), could be clearly determined by only analyzing the 233-433 region. The other two genotypes, AO(G) and BO(A), could be further distinguished by analyzing the 660-788 region. CONCLUSIONS The technique of PCR-direct sequencing provides an effective and new method for ABO genotyping further.

D000017	ABO Blood-Group System	The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

D016133	Polymerase Chain Reaction	In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
