A variant of glycophorin A resulting from the deletion of exon 4.
We have isolated a variant form of glycophorin A which has a 39 bp deletion corresponding to nucleotides 233 to 270 of the coding sequence, which is exon 4 of the glycophorin A gene. The remainder of the sequence is identical to that of the M phenotype of glycophorin A.
