The reasons for the association of severe COVID-19 with blood type A are unknown, but it has been suggested that this could be caused by O group patients having anti-A type antibodies, that A type glycans could function as co-receptors for SARS-CoV-2 or due to the known effects of blood groups on thrombosis risk due to von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels.<\/p>\n<p>The result obtained here is that the association of blood group A with hospitalization was (RR = 1.24, CI 95% [1.05, 1.47], p = 0.0111), and blood group A with cardiovascular complications was greatly increased (RR = 2.56, CI 95% [1.43, 4.55], p = 0.0011), but group A non-secretors were significantly less likely to be hospitalized than secretors. Why the difference between group A and O was so large in COVID-19 related cardiovascular complications was considered to be due to VWF related origins.<\/p>\n<p>As is known, in the presence of active FUT2 A, B, H, and Lewis b antigens can be expressed on mucosal surfaces. Individuals with this phenotype are known as secretors. In individuals lacking active FUT2, known as non-secretors, only the Lewis a antigen can be expressed.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group from Bristol Institute for Transfusion Sciences (BITS), NHSBT, UK, etc. has investigated whether ABO b<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/en\/whether-abo-blood-group-or-secretor-status-was-associated-with-covid-19-severity\/\" class=\"home-blog-btn\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nature-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4243"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4244,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4243\/revisions\/4244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
