Nonsecretor

[17] Similarly, Lewis negative or nonsecretor status was significantly associated with lower lung function, and higher prevalence of wheezing and asthma, in blood group O adults. ❋ Unknown (2009)

[18] The association between blood group O / nonsecretor genotype and asthma has also been demonstrated in children. ❋ Unknown (2009)

To investigate the effect of blood group alleles (ABO genotype, nonsecretor phenotype, and FUT3 genotypes producing Lewis negative phenotypes) on CF lung severity risk, we performed multiple logistic regression analyses to predict severity status. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The study found no correlation between secretor status and the clinical variables examined; however, it may have been significantly underpowered to detect a difference with only 17 patients in the nonsecretor group. ❋ Unknown (2009)

FUT2 ( "secretor / nonsecretor") alleles for SNP G428A (rs601338) were successfully determined in ❋ Unknown (2009)
