Abstract
To explore any relationship between the ABO blood group and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) susceptibility, we compared ABO blood group distributions in 2173 COVID-19 patients with local control populations, and found that blood group A was associated with an increased risk of infection, whereas group O was associated with a decreased risk.
Keywords: ABO blood group; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus; disease susceptibility.
