A new blood group system, RHAG: three antigens resulting from amino acid substitutions in the Rh-associated glycoprotein

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rh-associated glycoprotein (RhAG) is closely associated with the Rh proteins in the red cell membrane. Two high frequency antigens (Duclos and DSLK) and one low frequency antigen (Ol(a)) have serological characteristics suggestive of expression on RhAG. MATERIALS AND METHODS: RHAG was sequenced from the DNA of one Duclos-negative, one DSLK-negative, and two Ol(a+) individuals....
