A missense mutation (A385 to T), predicting an Ile129 to Phe substitution, in the human Secretor alpha 1,2-fucosyltransferase gene was present in double dose in Lewis(a+b+) individuals, but not in Lewis(a-b+) individuals. Co-segregation of the Lewis(a+b+) phenotype with homozygosity for the mutation was also verified. These results yield a potential molecular basis for the weak Secretor allele (Sew) accounting for the Lewis(a+b+) phenotype.
人类分泌型α1,2-岩藻糖基转移酶基因中的一个错义突变(A385突变为T),预测会导致异亮氨酸129被苯丙氨酸取代,该突变以双倍剂量存在于Lewis(a+b+)个体中,而Lewis(a-b+)个体中则不存在。Lewis(a+b+)表型与该突变纯合性的共分离也得到了验证。这些结果为解释Lewis(a+b+)表型的弱分泌等位基因(Sew)提供了潜在的分子基础。
