1 Names for MNS Blood Group Alleles General description: The MNS blood group system consists of 46 antigens carried on glycophorin A (GPA), glycophorin B (GPB) or on hybrids of these glycophorins. These proteins are single pass type I membrane glycoproteins that are heavily O-glycosylated. GPA carries an N- glycan. GPA consists of 131 amino acids, GPB of 7 amino acids and both have a leader sequence of 19 amino acids that is cleaved from the membrane bound protein. The hybrid proteins vary in length based on their composition but also have a 19 amino acid leader sequence. GPA is encoded by GYPA, GPB by GYPB. A third gene in this family, GYPE, normally does not encode detectable protein at the red cell surface but the gene has been shown to be involved in some gene rearrangements that encode cell-surface borne hybrid proteins. As described above, the proteins are encoded by GYPA or GYPB, or MNS if analysis is to predict a blood group antigen. Gene name: GYPA GYPB GYPE Number of exons: 7 5 plus 1 pseudoexon 4 plus pseudoexons Initiation Exon Exon Exon codon: Stop codon: Exon 7 Exon 6 Exon 6 GenBank #: NM_00099 NM_00100 NM_0010 Entrez GeneID: Exon numbering accounts for the presence of pseudoexons in GYPB and GYPE. Thus, GYPB pseudoexon 3 corresponds to the GYPA exon 3 sequence. This GYPB pseudoexon is involved in many gene rearrangements encoding hybrid glycophorins in this blood group system. Similarly, GYPE pseudoexons 3 and 4 correspond to GYPA exon 3 and 4 sequences. These GYPE pseudoexons are involved in gene rearrangements encoding hybrids. Reference allele for GYPA: Accession number: Preferred: Acceptable: Reference allele for GYPB: Accession number: Preferred: Acceptable: L31860 GYPA*01 GYPA*01, GYPA*M or M if inferred by hemagglutination J098 GYPB*04 GYPB*04, GYPB*s or s if inferred by hemagglutination Page 1 of 10
