Additional file 1: Table S1. of ABO allele-level frequency estimation based on population-scale genotyping by next generation sequencing

Primer sequences for ABO assay 1 and 2. Table S2. Alleles excluded from the reference allele set downloaded from NCBI dbRBC. Table S3. Alleles included in our final reference allele set and definition of allele groups as used in this study. Prevalence information of alleles are based on “The Blood Group Antigen FactsBook” [17], and the estimated frequencies are based on 113,367 German samples. Table S4. Alleles identified with so far undescribed nucleotide substitutions and structural variations. We provide numbers of observations per allele and positions of nucleotide changes relative to the cDNA of the reference alleles (ABO*A1.01.01.1 for antigens A and O, ABO*B1.01.01.1 for antigen B). A putative antigen designation was derived from sequence similarities to the exons harboring the nucleotide changes. (XLSX 38 kb)
