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 …

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

Background Tunisia was described to as genetically heterogenous. Besides the 1% native
Berber, the genetically influence of the Europeans seems much larger than that of sub …

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: The Duffy blood group system, besides its relevance in transfusion medicine, is
of major interest for population genetics. In fact, the Duffy molecule is the only red cell …

Duffy blood group system is of interest in several fields of science including transfusion
medicine, immunology and malariology. Although some methods have been developed for …

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

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