    After serological and molecular biology tests on the patient and her family members, we confirmed that the patient and her sister possessed p phenotype, and the habitual abortion that occurred in the patient was caused by the anti-PP1Pk antibody. The p phenotype is a rare phenotype in P1Pk blood system, individuals with p phenotype lack all of the antigens of the P1Pk blood system and possess anti-PP1Pk antibody in their

    This is the first direct biochemical evidence that Gb3/CD77 synthase is able to synthesize two different glycosphingolipid antigens: P(k) and P1, and when p.Q211E substitution is present, the NOR antigen is also synthesized.

    Human Gb3/CD77 synthase reveals specificity toward two or four different acceptors depending on amino acid at position 211, creating P(k), P1 and NOR blood group antigens.

    The results of this investigation demonstrate a consistent association of A4GALT SNPs rs2143918 and rs5751348 with the P1/P2 phenotypes and suggest that SNP rs5751348 may lead to allelic variations in A4GALT gene expression

    these data elucidate a new explanation underlying the p phenotype, implicating the deleted regions of A4GALT as crucial for P1 and P(k) synthesis, possibly due to loss of binding sites for erythroid transcription factors.

    Large deletions involving the regulatory upstream regions of A4GALT give rise to principally novel P1PK-null alleles.
