Does a Connexion exist between Blood Group Modifications observed in Leukæmia and Certain Chromosomal Alterations?

Nature volume 203, pages 432–433 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

A LARGE number of blood group modifications have been observed during the evolution of leukæmias. They belong most often to the ABO system, and can be divided in two classes: (1) In the first group one can classify the cases where a transformation from groups A or B into A weak is observed, or a transformation into group O by a progressive substitution of the substance H, for the substances A or B. (2) In the second group one can classify the cases where the diminution of the antigen A or B is not accompanied by a corresponding increase in substance H, and the cases where, the patient being group O, one assists progressively in the disappearance from his red-cells of the substance H (ref. 1).
