Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Jr(a) (ISBT 901005) is a high-prevalence antigen unassigned to a blood group system. People lacking this antigen have been found in all populations studied but most commonly in Asians. Two recent reports established that ABCG2-null alleles encode the Jr(a-) phenotype and these studies provided the impetus to study other Jr(a-) individuals. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood samples were part of our rare...
