Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The P1 /P2 phenotypic polymorphism is one of the earliest blood groups discovered in humans. These blood groups have been connected to different levels of expression of the A4GALT gene in P1 and P2 red blood cells; however, the detailed molecular genetic mechanism that leads to these two phenotypes has not been established. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: After our previous identification of an association...
