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 …

FY* B polymorphism is caused by a missense point mutation at NT 129 of the Duffy gene,
changing Gly42 in Fya to Asp42 in Fyb. 18–20, 22 In Fy (a–b–) people, most of whom are …

Duffy (Fy) blood group antigens are located on seven-transmembrane glycoprotein
expressed on erythrocytes and endothelial cells, which acts as atypical chemokine receptor …

The Duffy blood group has five antigenic specificities, Fya, Fyb, Fy3, Fy4, and Fy5, that are
part of, or related to, the system. The first four antigens are under the genetic control of a …

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

The coding and untranslated flanking sequences of Duffy gene (FY) in humans and simians
are in a single exon. The difference between the two codominant alleles, FY* A and FY* B, is …

ACKR1, located on chromosome 1q23. 2, is the gene that encodes a glycoprotein
expressing the Duffy blood group antigens. This gene is transcribed in two mRNA variants …

Five antigenic specificities are associated with the Duffy blood group system. Fy a, Fy b, Fy3
and Fy4 are under the genetic control of a locus near the centromere of chromosome 1. Fy5 …

The molecular basis of the three major alleles (Fya/Fyb/Fy) of the Duffy (FY) blood group
system has recently been established but the Fyx phenotype associated with weak …

BACKGROUND: The clinically significant antigens of the Duffy (Fy [FY]) blood group system
are expressed on the red cell form of the FY glycoprotein, a promiscuous chemokine …
