Medical professionals in China’s Jiangsu province have uncovered the genetic sequence behind a rare case of type P blood group – even rarer than the subtypes such as “dinosaur blood” or “panda blood.” ...

People with one of the type A blood groups are more likely to have a stroke before the age of 60 compared with people with other blood types, research shows. Blood types describe the rich variety of ...

In a breakthrough that could transform how we understand blood compatibility and genetic mutations, French scientists have identified a new and ultra-rare human blood group, officially recognized as ...

Most people only find out their blood type when donating blood or when a medical emergency calls for it. Recent research suggests this biological marker may influence heart health. Multiple ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Blood usually falls into a few widely recognized categories or types, based on the proteins that are expressed on the surface of red blood cells. For example, A or B antigens may be present there, ...

Not to B-negative, but your blood type could offer a clue to your risk of having a stroke before 60. “The number of people with early strokes is rising,” said Dr. Steven J. Kittner, co-principal ...

Researchers reveal for the first time that high blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes can play a causal role in lung disorders. Groundbreaking research published today in Nature Genetics describes the ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are actually involved in the disease mechanisms? An international team led by ...
