Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Because limited studies have shown that the Duffy genotype is not accurately reflected by the erythrocyte phenotype, we used PCR-RFLP to determine the true FY1 and FY2 gene frequencies in blacks. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from 81 randomly selected black individuals, amplified using PCR, digested with BanI and electrophoresed in 1.8% gels. Direct DNA sequencing of the FY regulatory region was...
