Does not support incorporating ABO, Lewis, or secretor status into SaV risk assessment in children; leaves open generalizability to other populations.
Do host genetic factors (ABO blood group, Lewis phenotype, secretor status) affect susceptibility to sapovirus infection in children in Nicaragua?
Host genetic factors such as ABO blood group, Lewis phenotype, and secretor status do not appear to influence susceptibility to sapovirus infection in children.
Bucardo et al. (2012) studied this question.
