The Blood group antigen Gene MUTation (BGMUT) database documents variations in genes of human blood group systems. In March 2014, the database, accessible at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gv/mhc/xslcgi.cgi?cmd=bgmut, listed 1,545 alleles of 44 genes of 34 blood group systems. Besides allelic information, the BGMUT resource also presents comprehensive and current information on blood group systems. This review describes the database and notes its utility for the transfusion medicine and human genetics communities.
血液组抗原基因突变(BGMUT)数据库记录了人类血型系统基因的变异。2014 年 3 月,可在 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gv/mhc/xslcgi.cgi?cmd=bgmut 访问的该数据库列出了 34 个血型系统中 44 个基因的 1545 个等位基因。除了等位基因信息外,BGMUT 资源还提供了有关血型系统的全面和最新信息。本综述描述了该数据库,并指出了它在输血医学和人类遗传学领域的应用。
