Identification of Fyx Allele in Patients


Recommended Posts

I have never heard of a patient with the Fyx allele producing an anti-Fyb.  Logically, they should not be able to so do, but, if they do, it would be an auto-antibody.

That will be my assumption as well. When I read up "Olsson M, et al. The Fyx phenotype is associated with a missense mutation in the Fyb allele Preductin Arg89Cys in Duffy glycoprotein.", authors explictly did not mentioned that individuals with Fya/Fyx does not produce anti-Fyb. 

That lead me to second guess myself and look for case reports but could not find any.
