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 …

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 …

Duffy was the first blood group mapped to an autosome (chromosome 1) using cytogenetic
studies. Duffy antigens are located on a glycoprotein that can be found on erythrocytes and …

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 …

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: In the Duffy blood group system, the null phenotype Fy (a–b–) has been
classically associated with a mutated GATA box, while the Fyx phenotype weak Fyb is …

Duffy blood group was studied among malaria-endemic Thai and Indonesian populations:
Hmong (n= 103), Akha (n= 218), Lisu (n= 44), Bugis (n= 95), Toraja (n= 77), Dani (n= 44) …

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 …

The Duffy blood group antigens are carried by the erythrocyte membrane glycoprotein gpD,
which has a molecular weight of 35–45 kDa and which has been recently cloned. In this …
