Renwick and Lawler observed the association of the ABO blood groups with the Nail-Patella syndrome in
1955. This disease is characterized by several typical abnormalities of
the arms and legs as well as kidney disease and glaucoma, and is
inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The close linkage of the ABO
blood group and the disease indicated that the ABO gene locus and the
genetic loci to cause the syndrome are located in the same chromosomal
region. Ferguson-Smith and colleagues later mapped the ABO gene locus
to 9q34, using somatic cell hybrids. Appendix 09.
