Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While MHC genes do play a role in immune response and transplantation compatibility, they are not specifically related to determining blood type. Blood types are determined by the presence or absence of ABO antigen markers and genetically determined glycoprotein markers on red blood cells, as well as inheritance of specific alleles. The gene that codes for the enzyme that adds the terminal carbohydrate to RBC receptors is also involved in determining blood type.
