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?

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.

Type O is Stronger than Type A against COVID-19?

See the following paper:

Relationship between the ABO Blood Group and the COVID-19 Susceptibility

Jiao Zhao, Yan Yang, Han-Ping Huang, Dong Li, Dong-Feng Gu, Xiang-Feng Lu, Zheng Zhang, Lei Liu, Ting Liu, Yu-Kun Liu, Yun-Jiao He, Bin Sun, Mei-Lan Wei, Guang-Yu Yang, Xinghuan Wang, Li Zhang, Xiao-Yang Zhou, Ming-Zhao Xing, Peng George Wang

The ABO group in 3694 normal people in Wuhan showed a distribution of 32.16%, 24.90%, 9.10% and 33.84% for A, B, AB and O, respectively, versus the distribution of 37.75%, 26.42%, 10.03% and 25.80% for A, B, AB and O, respectively, in 1775 COVID-19 patients from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. The proportion of blood group A and O in COVID-19 patients were significantly higher and lower, respectively, than that in normal people (both P < 0.001).

ESPN: Darvish can guess your blood type

The followings are excerpts:

"So there is Type A. That person is organized. Type B isn't exactly selfish but he goes his own way. Type O is laid back, a 'whatever happens' type of guy. AB is weird or different."

As he says all this, his catcher actually walks by. Darvish points back at Caratini as he passes.
"He's Type B," Darvish says with a smile. "I know it."

When a few teammates heard Darvish could guess blood types, they went scrambling to find out their own.
"I almost gave my mother a heart attack," first baseman Anthony Rizzo said with a laugh.
Rizzo called his mom to find out but without any explanation, she got worried. Alas, no transfusions were needed for her son, but she didn't know his blood type. Neither did Kris Bryant's mom or dad. However, Darvish's agent, Joel Wolfe, did know his -- which Darvish guessed correctly.

Ghosn must be type O!?

He hid himself in a musical instrument case at the end of the year with little security and flew to Istanbul on a business jet from Kansai Airport.
Just after the arrival, he switched to another flight and entered Lebanon swiftly.
It doesn't seem like he himself had made the plot "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE", but from the point of view of his bold actions, Ghosn must be type O.

What is certain is that President Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev have the same blood type.
This information is available to many media.
But the blood type was not disclosed at that time, so I don't know what type they are.
I suppose it is O, but what type is it actually?

We have revealed that people implicitly use the underlying knowledge of relationship between personality and ABO blood types as imprinting, which shows us superficial human intuition ability.
