Effect on gene expression of three allelic variants in GATA motifs of <i>ABO</i>, <i>RHD</i>, and <i>RHCE</i> regulatory elements

Abstract

Three new alleles in the ABO, RHD, and RHCE genes consist of single-nucleotide changes within GATA motifs, emphasizing the key role of GATA transcription factors in the expression of blood group genes.
