Presentation Transcript

  1. The Future of Blood Grouping is Mass Genotyping for Blood Groups and Beyond Symposium 24.09.2004 8:00 – 12:00 Stamitz-Saal

  2. Satellite-Symposium

  3. Introduction • molecular basis of blood group genes • established since 1990 • allele polymorphism • more complex than anticipated • all basic genetic research issues resolved • within the last 10 years

  4. „Tranfusion medicine: discipline with a future“ • RBC blood groups • It has been an exciting time for scientists with an interest in RBC antigens. • The genetic basis ... of all the major blood groups have, at least partially, been defined. • Several age-old controversies about blood group genetics have been resolved. • CommentaryJ McCullough, Transfusion 42(2003)823

  5. Scope of this symposium • To detail the current status of blood group genotyping • To outline future developments • possible technical means for mass genotyping • To explore possible applications for mass genotyping

  6. Topics of this symposium • current knowledge of molecular basis • specific applications • that are routine • that may become routine shortly • current applications in Czech & Spain • ethical issues & opportunities • the industry‘s perspective
