Abstract
The formal genetics of the Duffy-polymorphism was examined, using reagents Anti-Fy(a) and Anti-Fy(b). Our family series comprises 247 unselected families from the southwestern part of Germany with 459 children; extramarital children are excluded from this investigation. The results agree with the hypothesis “3 alleles Fya, Fyb, Fy at an autosomal locus”.
