Le(a-b-) phenotype: potential risk factor forinfection by the RH strain of Toxoplasmagondii in pregnancy
F. Nakashima The Lewis histo-blood group system is characterized by the expression of the Lea and Leb antigens in the gastrointestinal tract, whose synthesis results in interactions between α2-L-fucosyltransferase (FUTII) and α3/4-L-fucosyltransferase (FUTIII) enzymes coded by the FUT2 (19q.13.3) and FUT3 (19p13.3) genes. FUTII and FUTIII fucosylate the type 1 oligosaccharide precursor (Galβ1→3NAcGlcβ1→3-R) at distinct […]
