Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Kell blood group system is complex, consisting of five sets of alleles and expressing high- and low-incidence antigens and at least 11 other independently expressed antigens. The molecular basis of two sets of alleles: KEL1 (K) and KEL2 (k) and KEL6 (Jsa) and KEL7 (Jsb) have been elucidated as single-base mutations leading to amino acid changes. The molecular basis for the KEL3 (Kpa), KEL4 (Kpb),...
