Abstract excerpt
The human Rhesus (Rh) blood group locus is composed of two highly homologous genes, the RHD and RHCE genes on chromosome 1, encoding the D, C/c, and E/e antigens in common Rh-positive phenotypes. In general, the RHD gene is either absent or grossly deleted in Rh-negative individuals. In this study, gene organization at the RH locus of Japanese donors with different serological phenotypes was directly analyzed by...
