Duffy blood group genotypes among malaria patients in Rondônia, Western Brazilian Amazon Genótipos do sistema sanguíneo Duffy em pacientes maláricos de Rondônia, Amazônia Ocidental Brasileira

We have compared Duffy blood group genotype distribution, as determined by polymerase chain reaction with allele-specific primers, in 68 Plasmodium vivax-infected patients and 59 non-vivax malaria controls from Rondônia, Brazil. Homozygosity for the allele Fy, which abolishes Duffy antigen expressio...
