Two previously proposed P<sub>1</sub>/P<sub>2</sub>-differentiating and nine novel polymorphisms at the <it>A4GALT </it>(<it>P</it><sup><it>k</it></sup>) locus do not correlate with the presence of the P1 blood group antigen
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>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 P<sup>k </sup>glycosyltransferase...
