Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst
