Background: Duffy phenotypes vary widely among different ethnic groups and populations
from distinct locations. Several assays for genotyping Duffy blood groups have recently been …

Abstract Background: In the Duffy blood group system (Fy a, Fy b, Fy x, and Fy antigens), Fy
x antigen is associated with weak Fy b while Fy antigen means the null phenotype Fy (a⁣ …

Duffy blood group genes are highly polymorphic with the distribution of alleles varying
between different populations and ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to genotype …

Background Duffy blood group genotyping is useful to ensure transfusion safety and
determine the association of Duffy blood group polymorphism with diseases, and therefore …

Background Duffy (FY) blood group genotyping is important in transfusion medicine
because Duffy alloantibodies are associated with delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions …

The Duffy blood group system consists of three alleles, FYA, FYB, and FY. To study the
molecular evolution of the three alleles, we established the polymorphism of a dinucleotide …

We used a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-
RFLP) method for DNA-based typing of Duffy, Yt and Colton blood groups in Taiwanese …

Blood group antigens such as Duffy represent interesting models for population genetics
studies. The distribution of the Duffy blood group was determined using PCR in a sample of …

This study was aimed to establish the real-time multiple-PCR with melting curve analysis for
Duffy blood group Fy-a/b genotyping. According to the sequence of mRNA coding for β-actin …

Background: Because limited studies have shown that the Duffy genotype is not accurately
reflected by the erythrocyte phenotype, we used PCR-RFLP to determine the true FY1 and …
