Dinucleotide repeat in the 3' flanking region provides a clue to the molecular evolution of the Duffy gene.

Abstract:

:The Duffy blood group system consists of three alleles, FYA, FYB, and FY. To study the molecular evolution of the three alleles, we established the polymorphism of a dinucleotide (GT) repeat sequence (designated FyGT/C) in the 3' flanking region of the Duffy gene, and studied the relationship between FyGT/C and Duffy polymorphism in Japanese, people of African origin, and chimpanzee. By single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequence analysis, five and two alleles were identified in Japanese and Africans, respectively. In 110 random Japanese, the FyGT/C genotypes observed were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg law. From the sequence of the chimpanzee Duffy gene, including both flanking regions, FYB was identified as the ancestral gene of the human alleles. The FyGT/C sequences associated with the FY allele of Africans were distinct from those of Duffy positives, whereas the FYB and FYA alleles shared common FyGT/C sequences. Thus, it is suggested that the first split took place between the FYB and FY alleles, and the second between the FYB and FYA alleles.
