1 The presence of an RHD pseudogene containing a 37 base pair duplication and a nonsense mutation in Africans with the Rh D-negative blood group phenotype by Belinda K. Singleton, Carole A. Green, Neil D. Avent, Peter G. Martin, Elizabeth Smart, Abigail Daka, Edwin G. Narter-Olaga, Linda M. Hawthorne, and Geoff Daniels Blood Volume 95(1):12-18 January 1, 2000 ©2000 by American Society of Hematology

2 Nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequence for the 3′ end of intron 3 and the 5′ end of exon 4 of RHDand RHDψ.The region of the 37 bp duplication is underlined (single and double). Nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequence for the 3′ end of intron 3 and the 5′ end of exon 4 of RHDand RHDψ.The region of the 37 bp duplication is underlined (single and double). The putative exon sequence derived from intron 3 is double-underlined.* Indicates a translation-termination codon. Belinda K. Singleton et al.
