Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: The Csa blood group antigen was identified >50 years ago, but its genetic basis has yet to be elucidated. All our recent genomic investigation has failed to resolve the genetic basis of this enigmatic antigen. By investigating the association of the human neutrophil antigen (HNA)-3a/b polymorphism (rs2288904-G/A) in SLC44A2 with clinical features of sickle cell disease, we incidentally discovered that...
