title: Assignment of the Auberger red cell antigen polymorphism to the Lutheran blood group system: genetic justification.
abstract: Family studies have provided the final piece of evidence for the assignment of Auberger to the Lutheran blood group system. Lods derived from combined paternal and maternal meioses (zeta = 10.83 at theta = 0.00) strongly support the contention that a single gene controls the expression of both Au and LU antigens. Consequently, the International Society of Blood Transfusion Working Party on Terminology has designated Aua and Aub as LU18 and LU19, respectively.
