Research Abstract |
In this projects we have investigated the molecular bases of classical genetic markers in blood to propose simple and rapid genotyping methods. We analyzed (1)ABO, RH and Diego blood group systems as red cell antigens, (2)orosomucoid (alpha-1-acid glycoprotein), group-specific component, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, the R subcomponent of the first component of component, the seventh component of complement, alpha-1-antitrypsin, and the B unit of coagulation factor XIII as serum proteins (3)phosphoglucomutase 1, eaterase D, DNase 1, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2, and phosphomannomutase 2 as red cell and other cell enzymes. We also analyzed some null alleles (ORM1ィイD1*ィエD1Q0koln and ITIH1ィイD1*ィエD1Q0iwate), which could cause a false incompatibility between father and child. A nucleotide substitution of de novo mutation, observed in the group-specific component in a German paternity case, was determined. The findings obtained in this study will be useful not only in forensic science but also biological and medical sciences.
