From: ABO exon and intron analysis in individuals with the AweakB phenotype reveals a novel O 1v-A 2 hybrid allele that causes four missense mutations in the A transferase

Figure 2

Representation of the exons and introns in A 2 and O 1valleles and the new hybrid allele. Exons are represented as thick boxes and introns as thin boxes. They are drawn approximately to scale except for the approx 13 kbp long intron 1. Filled regions indicate an A 2 sequence and unfilled regions an O 1vsequence. The hatched region in the hybrid allele indicates the cross-over region. The grey area is presumed to have an O 1vallele sequence, but lack of known mutations in exons 1 and 2 and the unsequenced intron 1 does not allow proof of this. The asterisks indicate the localisation of the four missense mutations compared to the common A 2 allele.
