Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Kidd blood group system is critical in transfusion medicine, especially for delayed hemolytic reactions. However, the genetic background and molecular mechanisms underlying the weak antigen phenotype remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate how the JK*01 W.06 allelic variant and its promoter region polymorphisms contribute to reduced Jka antigen expression in the weak antigen phenotype....
