Abstract excerpt
The glycoprotein encoded by the ACKR1 gene expresses the Duffy blood group antigens and is a receptor for malaria parasites. We recently described 18 long-range ACKR1 alleles in an autochthonous population of a malaria endemic region. Extending this work, we sequenced the gene in a 53-sample repository established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as reference reagents for blood group genotyping. The...
