Objectives: Associations of ABO blood group specifying transferases A/B (ABO) and fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) with CP remain inconclusive. We aimed to comprehensively investigate the associations by Chinese sequencing cohorts and external cohorts.
Methods: First, we analyzed the distributions of ABO blood groups and FUT2 status, along with lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at ABO (rs8176693 C/T) and FUT2 (rs632111 A/G) gene loci in Chinese low-coverage whole-genome sequencing discovery cohort. Subsequently, we investigated the associations of CP with ABO and FUT2 SNPs in Chinese whole-exome sequencing validation cohort and three public biobanks (FinnGen, UK Biobank, and BioBank Japan). Finally, comprehensive meta-analysis was performed by integrating data from two Chinese cohorts, reported cohorts and public biobanks.
Results: Firstly, in Chinese discovery cohort, the distribution of blood types in CP patients showed no significant difference compared to healthy controls, and similar results were observed in subgroup analyses and in meta-analysis with the reported cohorts. Secondly, results indicated no association between rs8176693 or rs632111 and CP in Chinese cohorts and meta-analysis of three biobanks, though ABO SNP was found to be significantly associated with CP in UK Biobank (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27, P = 0.04). Finally, no association was observed between rs8176693 (OR = 1.03, P = 0.29) or rs632111 (OR = 1.04, P = 0.10) and CP in comprehensive meta-analysis.
Conclusions: No association was found between lead SNPs of ABO or FUT2 and CP in meta-analysis, nor was there an association between ABO blood group or FUT2 secretor status and CP in Chinese cohort. ABO and FUT2 might play limited role in CP development.

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.

Objective: Aim: To find any association between specific ABO blood groups and FUT2 secretory status and COVID-19 in a sample of Iraqi dentists.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: For each participant, a questionnaire including demography, COVID-19 status, blood grouping, and RH factor, with chemo-sensitive symptoms was recorded. The saliva samples were collected and DNA was extracted from leukocytes.
A Pedigree Investigation of H-antigen Deletion Caused by Mutation of 658 C to T in the FUT1 Gene.

H-antigen deletion is often caused by FUT1 gene mutation, which is a very rare blood group. In this case, the H-antigen phenotype, FUT1, FUT2 sequences, and family genetic investigation of a 26-year-old patient (proband) and her three family members were studied. The results showed that the proband and little her brother were H-deficient phenotype, their ABO genotype of both was A/O1, her father was A/B, and her mother was O1/O1.

Fibrotic diseases affect multiple organs and are associated with morbidity and mortality. To examine organ-specific and shared biologic mechanisms that underlie fibrosis in different organs, we developed machine learning models to quantify T1 time, a marker of interstitial fibrosis, in the liver, pancreas, heart and kidney among 43,881 UK Biobank participants who underwent magnetic resonance imaging. In phenome-wide association analyses, we demonstrate the association of increased organ-specific T1 time, reflecting increased interstitial fibrosis, with prevalent diseases across multiple organ systems.
