On the blood group antigens Bua and Sm.

Abstract

Three Bu(a+)Sm+ x Bu(a+)Sm+ families with three Bu(a+)Sm—, 11 Bu(a+)Sm+ and seven Bu(a—)Sm+ children are reported, supporting the hypothesis that Bua and Sm are products of allelic genes. The inheritance of Bua has been shown to be independent of sex and of all blood group systems reported prior to 1962 except Diego, Yt and Auberger. It is now reported to be independent of the antigens Doa and Csa.
