Popis: | Cells of the clinically important p histo-blood group phenotype lack P1, P(k) , and P glycosphingolipid antigens. All cases investigated so far are due to alterations in the 4-α-galactosyltransferase-encoding Exon 3 of A4GALT. Repetitive elements in the genome can mediate DNA rearrangements, the most abundant being the Alu family of repeats. |
