Objective: To study two cases of rare para-Bombay blood types Bmh and Amh in order to determine clinical strategies of blood transfusion.
Methods: ABO blood type was determined with serological assays. The samples were also genotyped with polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) for potential mutations in α-1,2-fucosyltransferase gene (FUT1). The results were verified with direct sequencing.
Results: Two rare para-Bombay blood types, namely Bmh and Amh, were identified by serological method, with one being BO1 which contained a FUT1 allele 547-548delAG deletion (h1h1), and another being A205O2 which contained FUT1 allele a 547-548delAG deletion and a FUT1 allele 658C/T missense mutation (h1h3).
Conclusion: FUT1 allele 547-548delAG deletion and 658C>T missense mutation in part form the molecular basis of para-Bombay blood types. As Bmh and Amh contain anti-HI in sera, great attention should be paid to avoid adverse reaction of blood transfusion in clinics.

Objective: To investigate the serological and molecular genetic characteristics of a voluntary blood donor with combined FUT1 and ABO blood group gene variants causing para-Bombay and A2 subtype, and to review relevant literature on para-Bombay blood types carrying alleles such as FUT101W.37 and FUT101W.23.

Background: Reduced or absent H antigens on red cells with the (para-)Bombay phenotype can arise from FUT1 gene mutations, impacting the structure and function of 1,2-L-fucosyltransferase 1 (1,2-L-FucT1). Here, we identified the novel mutations in one patient displaying the para-Bombay phenotype and examined the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotype.
Materials And Methods: ABH antigens and antibodies were detected in patient's blood and saliva using serological methods.

Article Synopsis
- The expression of ABO (ABH) antigens on red blood cells and the secretion of ABH substances in bodily fluids are controlled by different genes, with the Secretor gene determining secretor status.
- A study conducted on 318 blood donors in South India from Jan 2020 to Dec 2021 found that 72% were secretors while 28% were nonsecretors, revealing a clear relationship between secretor status and Lewis phenotyping.
- The findings suggest that knowing the Lewis phenotype can help identify blood group secretor status, which is crucial for resolving discrepancies in ABO blood groups in medical settings.

Blood Centres in India lack infrastructure to investigate immunohematology problems. Reference Testing Center (RTC) was established in 2014 to investigate Immunohematological problem as it is not possible for small blood centers to go for complete immunohematology work up due to lack of financial and technical resources in remote and rural areas. Objective of this study is to share our experience as RTC of past 6 years so that more RTC are established across Indian subcontinent.
