In simple terms, a person is said to be a secretor if he or she secretes their blood type antigens into their body fluids like the saliva, the mucus, whereas on the other hand, a Non-secretor does not put or if so at all very little of their blood type antigens into these fluids [5].Click…

Also question is, what does a non Secretor mean?Definition of nonsecretor. : an individual of blood group A, B, or AB who does not secrete the antigens characteristic of these blood groups in bodily fluids (such as saliva)One may also ask, can you get DNA from a non Secretor? But if someone is a non-secretor (non-secretors make up between 15% and 25% of the population), though they may leave some semblance of a fingerprint behind, there’s usually not enough DNA/information within it to identify the criminal. Beside above, is everyone a Secretor? Around 80% of people are secretors. For the other 20% who are non-secretors, their FUT2 gene has been interrupted by a mutation, so they can’t make the free-floating form of antigens. And there are cells in your tear ducts that are release your antigens into tears. And so on, for all of the fluids that your body makes!What percentage of people are non Secretors?About 20% of the population lacks the so-called secretor gene (FUT2) and thus cannot manufacture free, unbound blood type antigens. These individuals are known as non-secretors. These subcategory of individuals is very interesting from a disease susceptibility vantage.
