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 …

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 …

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 …

A major advance towards understanding the Duffy blood group system has been achieved
with the cloning of FY, a single-copy gene located in the 1q22→ q23 region of chromosome …

The Duffy blood group system is of clinical and biological significance. Antibodies to Duffy
antigens are responsible for some cases of transfusion incompatibility and newborn …

Very important progress has been made over the last years in understanding the Duffy blood
group system and its complexity. The Duffy blood group antigen serves not only as blood …

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 …

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 …

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 …
