Molecular characterization of D– Korean persons: development of a diagnostic strategy
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: D- frequencies show wide racial differences: in particular, in Korean persons it is approximately 1/100th of that in Caucasians (0.15% vs. 15%). The molecular mechanisms of D- may be unique to races, and thus specific molecular diagnostic approaches are necessary for individual races. Such marked racial differences have been attributed to the founder effect. It was hypothesized that D- frequencies may...
