Molecular analysis of secretor type α(1,2)‐fucosyltransferase gene mutations in the Chinese and Thai populations
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human Lewis histo-blood group system belongs to a family of structurally related oligosaccharides. The mutations of fucosyltransferase genes alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT2 or Se) and alpha(1,3/1,4)-fucosyltransferase (FUT3 or Le), are responsible for the polymorphism of Lewis blood group phenotypes. However, a population study of the FUT2 mutation in Chinese and Thais has not yet been done,...
