Abstract excerpt
The JK blood group system encodes the antithetical antigens Jka and Jkb as well as Jk3.1 SLC14A1 on chromosome 18 spans approximately 28 kb and has 10 exons. The diallelic single nucleotide variant (SNV) c.838G>A p.(Asp280Asn) gives rise to the antithetical antigens Jka or Jkb, respectively. At the time of this publication and including this novel allele, there are 12 JK*01 alleles encoding Jk(a+w) and 29 JK*01...
