Abstract

The molecular genetics of the P blood group system and the absence of P1 antigen in the p phenotype are still enigmatic. One theory proposes that the same gene encodes for both the P1 and Pk glycosyltransferases, but no polymorphisms in the coding region of the Pk gene explain the P1/P2 phenotypes. We investigated the potential regulatory regions up- and downstream of the A4GALT (Pk) gene exons.
