Group II Discrepancy
This discrepancy is between forward and reverse grouping owing to weak or missing antigens. This is a quite uncommon type of discrepancy. Some of the common causes in this group are:
• Subgroups may be present
• Weak expression of A or B antigens in cases of leukemias or occasionally Hodgkin’s disease
• Acquired B antigen; this is suspected when the group appears AB but the serum contains anti-B. A1 cells are notorious for such type of expression. This phenomenon is frequently encountered in patients of carcinoma colon and rectum.
Group III Discrepancy
This discrepancy between forward and reverse groupingusually occurs due to abnormalities of plasma proteins. Thecommon conditions resulting in this type of discrepancy are:
• Multiple myeloma
• Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia
• Other plasma cell dyscrasias
Group IV Discrepancy
This discrepancy may have miscellaneous problems. Some of the common causes are: • Polyagglutination: This is the spontaneous agglutination of red cells by most normal adult sera. It can occur owing to exposure of a hidden erythrocyte antigen called “T antigen” due to bacterial or viral contamination. Few characteristics of this reaction

    In this case, only one DNA triplet may be altered and so a frameshift does not occur. This substitution may result in a nonsense, mis-sense or silent mutation. A nonsense mutation will occur if the substitution results in the formation of one out of three of the stop codons. This will cause the synthesis of the polypeptide to be stopped prematurely and therefore the final protein will be very different from the protein that was originally intended to be synthesised. This new polypeptide will be shorter and is unlikely to function. An example of this is the non functional protein that causes albinism; a disease that means the organism cannot produce melanin, a characteristic selected against in animals due to highlighting the organism to predators. A mis-sense mutation is when a DNA base change results in a new mRNA codon that codes for a different amino acid. The new polypeptide chain will have one amino acid different to the normal form, which may not have a serious effect on the polypeptide but as the primary sequence of the amino acid is important in determining the tertiary and quaternary 3D structure of the protein, the shape of the protein may change. This is particularly important in enzymes, where the protein may not function normally as the active site shape may no longer be complementary to the substrate. An example of a mis-sense mutation can be seen in sickle cell anaemia. Sickle Cell Anaemia is an example of co-dominance as both alleles are expressed in the phenotype of heterozygote. A substitution of the T in base CTC causes the new codon to become CAC. This one amino acid is changed on the beta globulin chain of haemoglobin causing glutanic acid to become valine acid. This causes abnormal haemoglobin molecules to be produced, producing red blood cells that are sickle shaped. These red blood cells cannot carry as much oxygen to cells for respiration, resulting in less ATP being…

    Most cases are not inherited, as we found out through our Geneticist. The cause is not known. The asymmetry occurs as a result of increase cell growth. There is not a single gene responsible for hemihypertrophy, but the exact number of genes and their locations and functions are unknown. Some suggest that the isolated condition is related to the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome has been associated with abnormalities of the…

    more than 10 % of prophase like cells in lymphocytes,fibroblasts and lymphoblast cell lines and this phenomenon is due to premature condensation in the early G2 phase. This premature entrance of cells into mitosis further indicated that mutated gene is involved in cell cycle regulation. (Neitzel at al.,2002). In some patients a high percentage of prophase like cells was also observed in combination with normal cell cycle continuance. Highly increased frequency of chromosomal breakage has been observed in some cases.(Tommerup et…
