[…] In addition, recently, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) found COVID-19-association signals at locus 3p21.31 (rs11385942) comprising the solute carrier SLC6A20 (Na+ and Cl- coupled transporter family) and at locus 9q34.2 (rs657152) coincident with ABO-blood group (rs8176747, rs41302905, rs8176719), and interestingly, both loci are associated to RAS-pathway. |
| 32946531 | At present, existing evidence about the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and ABO blood group polymorphism is preliminary and controversial. |
| 32965363 | The aim of this study is to analyze the prognostic significance of ABO and Rh blood group antigens along with various parameters in patients followed-up with the diagnosis of COVID-19. […] The ages, genders, chronic diseases, ABO and Rh blood group antigens, admission rates to Intensive Care Units (ICU), and mortality rates of the patients were analyzed. |

[…] This study identifies ABO blood group as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection but not for hospitalization or death from COVID-19. |
| 33057633 | Therefore, we aimed to determine whether ABO blood groups are associated with different severities of COVID-19. […] We collected data pertaining to age, sex, comorbidities, dates of symptom onset, hospital admission, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), standard laboratory parameters, and serum inflammatory cytokines.

[…] Statistical analysis identified increased transfusion reaction risk for ABO blood group B or Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores of 12 to 13, and decreased risk within the age group of 80 to 89 years. […] Further studies are needed to confirm the clinical significance of ABO group B, age, and predisposing disease severity in the incidence of transfusion reaction events. |
| 33164230 | There is no evidence that racial/ethnic differences for COVID-19 are caused by ABO blood groups, use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or from amino acid substitutions in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. |
| 33188185 | Here, we use observational healthcare data on 14,112 individuals tested for SARS-CoV-2 with known blood type in the New York Presbyterian (NYP) hospital system to assess the association between ABO and Rh blood types and infection, intubation, and death. |
| 33196159 | To provide solid information about viral infection, disease, and body iron metabolism, the literature was surveyed for mutual correlations. […] There are further symptomatic hints that the ABO blood group system contributes to these correlations. […] Remarkably, the susceptibility to both the viral disease and iron dyshomeostasis can be traced back to the same gene loci of the ABO blood group system. |
| 33196417 | Several articles reported the existence of an association between ABO blood groups and COVID-19 susceptibility. […] No association was observed between ABO groups and mortality. […] ABO blood groups were also seen to represent important risk factors for COVID-19 severity and mortality. […] The association between the ABO blood groups and the susceptibility to acquire COVID-19 infection was confirmed in the group of blood donors.

| 33226859 | The ABO and rhesus (Rh) blood groups may influence risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. […] To determine whether ABO and Rh blood groups are associated with risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness. […] All adults and children who had ABO blood group assessed between January 2007 and December 2019 and who subsequently had SARS-CoV-2 testing between 15 January and 30 June 2020. |
| 33254482 | Recent findings indicate that the ABO blood system modulates susceptibility and progression of infection, with type-A individuals being more susceptible to infection and/or manifestation of a severe condition. […] Based on this survey, we hypothesize that the correlation between the ABO blood system and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection can be presumably explained by the modulation of sialic acid-containing receptors distribution on host cell surface induced by ABO antigens through carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions, which could maximize or minimize the virus Spike protein binding to the host cell. |
| 33264276 | We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and laboratory test reports of patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia who received a convalescent plasma transfusion. […] RESULTS A total of 24 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who were transfused with ABO-compatible convalescent plasma were enrolled in the study.

| 33296536 | The aim of this study was to investigate the ABO and Rh blood group distribution and clinical characteristics in patients with COVID-19. |
| 33309392 | Several studies report that ABO blood group polymorphism may be related to COVID-19 susceptibility and clinical outcomes; however, the results are controversial. […] We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate whether ABO blood groups are associated with increased COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. |
| 33326874 | Susceptibility to Covid-19 has been found to be associated with the ABO blood group, with O type individuals being at a lower risk. […] Here, we aimed to test the hypothesis that Covid-19 patients might have lower levels of ABO antibodies than non-infected individuals as they could offer some degree of protection. […] After showing that the viral spike protein harbors the ABO glycan epitopes when produced by cells expressing the relevant glycosyltransferases, like upper respiratory tract epithelial cells, we enrolled 290 patients with Covid-19 and 276 asymptomatic controls to compare their levels of natural ABO blood group antibodies. […] In this study, we showed that ABO antibody levels are significantly lower in Covid-19 patients compared to controls. […] These findings could indicate that patients with low levels of ABO antibodies are at higher risk of being infected. |
| 33330542 | Biological markers such as the ABO blood group system were amongst these factors that were proposed to be linked to the variability in the disease course and/or the prevalence of the infection among different groups. […] Contrary to the most acknowledged hypothesis, our results challenged the significance of this association and questioned the role of the ABO blood group system in dictating the severity of this disease. […] For future similar studies, we endorsed analyzing larger cohorts among different populations and we encouraged implementing more rigorous approaches to diminish the potential confounding effect of some underlying comorbidities and genetic variants that are known to be associated with the ABO blood group system. |
| 33362545 | For example, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FGG, FGA, and F5 mediate increases in D-dimer and SNPs in ABO, CBS, CPS1 and MTHFR mediate differences in homocysteine levels, and SNPs in TDAG8 associate with Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia. […] In this study, we aimed to uncover the genetic basis of the above conditions by examining genome-wide associations and tissue-specific gene expression to build a molecular network. |
| 33407977 | Thus, an association exists between SARS-CoV-2 and the ABO blood group distribution, which might be useful for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. |

| 33447315 | ABO blood types have been associated with disease susceptibility; however, evidence remains limited. […] Our aim was to determine the association between ABO/Rh blood type with disease susceptibility and mortality among admitted COVID-19 patients. […] Demographics and pertinent medical history were analyzed with respect to ABO/Rh blood type: between the cases and a control population; as well as with respect to mortality in the COVID-19 population in univariate analysis. […] Within the COVID-19 population, no mortality difference was appreciated between ABO groups (P = 0.312), but higher mortality was observed in Rh negative group (P = 0.01). […] Overall, ABO and Rh blood types do not have a significant relationship with susceptibility and mortality with COVID-19 infection in our population. |
| 33453462 | Genetic variation at a multigene cluster at chromosome 3p21.31 and the ABO blood group have been associated with the risk of developing severe COVID-19, but the mechanism remains unclear. […] The aim of this study was to examine whether chromosome 3p21.31 and the ABO variants are linked to the activation of the complement cascade in COVID-19 patients. […] The association between rs11385949 and SC5b-9 remained significant after adjustment for ABO and disease severity (P = 0.004) and further correction for C5a (P = 0.018). |
| 33455936 | These findings persisted across a range of risk factor-adjusted analyses accounting for major comorbidities, obesity, smoking, frailty and ABO blood group. |
| 33478744 | Our experience includes 2 simultaneous liver-kidney transplants, 1 ABO-incompatible LDLT, and 1 pediatric case (age 11 months). |
| 33479990 | Our series, although limited in size, showed a higher prevalence of blood group A among Covid-19 patients, statistically significant compared to ABO blood group distribution among Tunisian blood donors and among a control group of patients without Covid -19. these results are in line with data from the literature, particularly on larger series in China. |
| 33493365 | ABO blood group may affect risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or severity of COVID-19. […] We sought to determine whether IgG, IgA and neutralizing antibody (nAb) to SARS-CoV-2 vary by ABO blood group. […] Among eligible convalescent plasma donors, ABO blood group was determined via agglutination of reagent A1 and B cells, IgA and IgG were quantified using the Euroimmun anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA, and nAb titres were quantified using a microneutralization assay. […] Differences in titre distribution were examined by ABO blood group using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests. […] Distribution of nAb titres significantly differed by ABO blood group, whereas there were no significant differences in anti-spike IgA or anti-spike IgG titres by ABO blood group. […] Additional studies evaluating ABO blood groups and antibody titres that incorporate COVID-19 severity are needed. |
| 33499228 | Since the emergence of COVID-19, many publications have reported associations with ABO blood types. […] Moreover, as frequencies of ABO phenotypes are highly variable between populations or geographical areas, the ABO coefficient of variation, rather than the frequency of each individual phenotype is expected to determine impact of the ABO system on virus transmission. […] Accordingly, the ABO coefficient of variation correlates with COVID-19 prevalence. […] Overall, despite modest apparent risk differences between ABO subtypes, the ABO blood group system might play a major role in the COVID-19 pandemic when considered at the population level. |
| 33501658 | Information on the impact of ABO blood group (BG) on SARS-CoV-2 infections is conflicting (1-4). |
| 33519277 | However, significant differences (p < 0.001) were identified according to ABO blood groups, with those with type A blood presenting the highest rate of seropositivity (29.18%) compared with the other blood groups (12.65% for type B, 16.36% for type AB, and 15.11% for type O). |
| 33520615 | Here, the common SEIR model is generalized in order to show the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission taking into account the ABO blood group of the infected people. |
| 33527398 | Results were stratified by region, age, ethnicity, ABO groups and quantiles of material and social deprivation indices. |
| 33529391 | Reports on the association of the ABO phenotypes with infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus have mostly come from countries with high infection rates. […] This study examined the possible association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the ABO phenotype in Black Africa. […] The ABO distribution of patients was compared with that of a blood donor population. |
| 33564039 | At the same time, an association of the ABO blood group system with COVID-19 has also been highlighted: there is increasing evidence to suggest that non-O individuals are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 than O individuals. […] These findings imply that simultaneous suppression of ACE2 and ABO would be a promising approach for prevention or treatment of COVID-19. […] Notably, we have previously clarified that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) are able to suppress ABO expression in vitro. […] Against this background, we further evaluated the effect of HDACIs on cultured epithelial cell lines, and found that HDACIs suppress both ACE2 and ABO expression simultaneously. |
| 33565620 | These donations were reviewed: first-time, repeat (donation ≤ 2 years), and lapsed (no donation > 2 years); sex; age; ethnicity; and ABO blood groups at high school and college drives. |
| 33578447 | Growing evidence suggests that ABO blood group may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with group O individuals less likely to test positive and group A conferring a higher susceptibility to infection and propensity to severe disease. […] The level of evidence supporting an association between ABO type and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 ranges from small observational studies, to genome-wide-association-analyses and country-level meta-regression analyses. […] ABO blood group antigens are oligosaccharides expressed on red cells and other tissues (notably endothelium). […] There are several hypotheses to explain the differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection by ABO type. […] ABO type-associated variations in angiotensin-converting enzyme-1 activity and levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII could also influence adverse outcomes, notably in group A individuals who express high VWF levels. |
| 33590936 | Several studies indicated that the genetic variants of the SARS-CoV-2 entry mechanism related (Angiotensin converting enzymes, Transmembrane serine protease-2, Furin) and host innate immune response related genes (Interferons, Interleukins, Toll like receptors); HLA, ABO, 3p21.31 and 9q34.2 loci are critical host determinants related to Covid-19 severity. |
