Blood Type Distribution in China

The most recent data is from 2022.

Type A 28.72%, Type B 28.17%, Type O 34.20%, and Type AB 8.91%.

Distribution characteristics of ABO blood groups in China

It was said that Anhui and Hunan Province have the largest number of type A as well as Japan, but in fact it is type O.

Human type A gene was created by recombination of the type B and O genes

A friend of mine told me about an interesting paper that says that the human type A gene was created by recombination of the type B and O genes.

Takashi Kitano, Antoine Blancher, Naruya Saitou. The Functional A Allele Was Resurrected via Recombination in the Human ABO Blood Group Gene. 

Molecular Biology and Evolution, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2012, Pages 1791–1796, https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/mss021

Abstract

Functional A and B alleles are distinguished at two critical sites in exon 7 of the human ABO blood group gene. The most frequent nonfunctional O alleles have one-base deletion in exon 6 producing a frameshift, and it has the A type signature in two critical sites in exon 7. Previous studies indicated that B and O alleles were derived from A allele in human lineage. In this study, we conducted a phylogenetic network analysis using six representative haplotypes: A101, A201, B101, O01, O02, and O09. The result indicated that the A allele, possibly once extinct in the human lineage a long time ago, was resurrected by a recombination between B and O alleles less than 300,000 years ago.

Is Elon Musk Type AB?

 I found a site that states that Elon Musk is Type AB!

The information is from Wikipedia, but when I checked his blood type, it didn't say anything.

I also checked with Perplexity to be sure, but it also said his blood type was unknown.

Irritated, I checked on Bing (ChatGPT-4)...

Apparently, Wikipedia said he is Type AB.

I wonder which site is true?

Genome analysis of Beethoven

A team of researchers from Cambridge University and others have conducted a DNA test on Beethoven, but unfortunately, no blood type has been released....

New paper from the ABO Center

A new paper from Masayuki Kanazawa, the ABO Center.

Pilot Analysis of Genetic Effects on Personality Test Scores with AI: ABO Blood Type in Japan. Biology and Medicine.

 Abstract

It is estimated that genetic factors are responsible for approximately 30%-60% of an individual’s personality. However, statistical analyses have yet to demonstrate a significant and consistent relationship between personality tests and genetic factors. Conversely, a significant portion of individuals in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan believe that there is a linkage between ABO blood type, which is determined genetically, and personality. This pilot study analyzed data from a large-scale survey (N=2,887) using a combination of traditional statistical methods and AI to examine this relationship. The results indicated the relationship between ABO blood type and self-reported personality traits on several single-question items, in accordance with expected outcomes. These findings suggest that this relationship may extend beyond ABO blood type and personality to encompass other inherited characteristics. The influence of the level of interest on personality and was also discussed.
