[Blood group assignment--a genetic marker of hepatic hemangiomatosis].
There is no single point of view on pathogenesis of hemangiomas. The authors investigated the ABO blood types in 52 patients with hepatic hemangiomas (Group 1) and 1000 control patients (Group 2). The study demonstrated 61.5% of the A blood type among the patients of Group 1. This was significantly higher than in the Group 2 and representative groups from literature (P less than 0.001). Taking into account that the cells of both blood and blood vessels are formed in embryos through the mesenchyma and the heritability of blood group antigens, it is supposed that the results obtained support the genetic determination theory of pathogenesis of hepatic hemangiomas.
