Abstract excerpt
The coding and untranslated flanking sequences of Duffy gene (FY) in humans and simians are in a single exon. The difference between the two codominant alleles, FY*A and FY*B, is a single change at nucleotide 306: guanidine is in FY*A and adenine is in FY*B. This produces a codon change that subs...
