Blood group antigens are inherited traits that may play a role in immune and inflammatory
processes. We investigated associations between blood groups and circulating …

Background and objectives Duffy blood group phenotypes can be predicted by genotyping
for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP s) responsible for the Fya/Fyb polymorphism, for …

3. Moller M, Joud M, Storry JR, Olsson ML. Erythrogene: a database for in-depth analysis of

The Duffy (FY) blood group system is clinically significant in transfusion medicine because
FY antibodies are involved in hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the …

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

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 …

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

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 …

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 …
