Abstract:
This study was purposed to investigate the molecular polymorphism of gypa gene in association with MN human blood group in Chinese Han population. The MN phenotypes of 202 random samples from unrelated Chinese Han volunteers were identified by serology techniques. The primer for gypa gene exon 2 were designed and synthesized according to reference sequences of NG-007470 gene from GenBank, the DNA of 202 samples was amplified by PCR, at the same time, the amplified products were analyzed by direct DNA sequencing. The results showed that all samples had 2 base substitutions at 1st and 56th nt of gypa exon 2, among them the MN phenotype heterozygote exited mainly in the form of 1A > C, 22T/C, 34A/G, 35T/G, 56T > C; the MM phenotype homozygote exited mainly in the form of 1A > C, 22C, 34G, 35T, 56T > C; the NN phenotype homozygote exited mainly in the form of 1A > C, 22T, 34A, 35G, 56T > C. It is concluded that the polymorphism of gypa gene in associated with MN blood group in Chinese Han population is decided by 5 nucleotide sites of 1, 22, 34, 35 and 56. The bases of 1 and 56 are non-functional gypa single nucleotide polymorphism.
