Molecular Details of the Mutation
Arg176+Gly268 (group A) <-> Gly176+Arg268 (group O03 = weak AB allele rather than complete loss-of-function)
two nucleotide substitutions at nt. 526 and nt. 802. The authors have not examined whether both amino acid substitutions are necessary to disrupt the enzymatic activity or if one of them is sufficient. Nevertheless they assume that the single amino acid substitution at aa. 268 (glycine+arginine) may be crucial for their nullifying effect.

Abstract
We have encountered an allele which seems to be another type of O allele at the human histo-blood group ABO locus. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of this allele over the coding region in the last two coding exons. This allele does not possess the single-nucleotide deletion found common among all the O alleles previously analyzed. Compared with A1 allele, this allele has three nucleotide substitutions resulting in two amino acid substitutions. The introduction of these amino acid substitutions into the A1 transferase expression construct apparently abolished the enzymatic activity of A1 transferase.
