Patterns of human genetic variation inferred from comparative analysis of allelic mutations in blood group antigen genes.
Human mutation - 1 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt
Comparative analysis of allelic variation of a gene sheds light on the pattern and process of its diversification at the population level. Gene families for which a large number of allelic forms have been verified by sequencing provide a useful resource for such studies. In this regard, human blood group-encoding genes are unique in that differences of cell surface traits among individuals and populations can be...
