Abstract excerpt
Secretor status of the ABH(O) histoblood group antigens is regulated by secretor type α(1,2)fucosyltransferase encoded by FUT2. The sedel2 allele is a complete deletion of the FUT2 coding region generated by Alu-mediated homologous recombination. This deletion seems to be exclusively encountered in certain Oceanian populations. From the perspective of forensic science, sedel2 is considered to be one of ancestry...
