TL;DR
The data suggest that the Fy5 determinant is formed by interaction of Rhesus and Duffy gene products.
Abstract
Abstract. A new antibody, anti‐Fy5, has been found in the serum of a Negro Fy(a–b–) person. It reacts with Fy(a+) or Fy(b+) red cells of common Rh type, but not with Fy(a–b–) cells from Negroes, or with Rh null cells. An example of Caucasian Fy(a–b–) red cells was Fy5 positive. U‐negative or LW‐negative red cells give the reaction expected of their Duffy type. The data suggest that the Fy5 determinant is formed by interaction of Rhesus and Duffy gene products.

The patient was a hæmophilic who had received previous transfusions and his serum contained two immune antibodies, namely, anti-Rh and a second antibody which reacted with a large proportion of group O Rh-negative bloods; this second antibody could be detected with certainty only by the indirect Coombs test.

123 Citations1970Phillip Sturgeon
The proposed basis for this hemolytic anemia is homozygosity for a gene whose normal allele produces components of the erythrocyte membrane which serve as substrate for the action of both the products of the Rh-Hr genes and of the genes of the MNSs, U and, possibly, of the Fy systems.

90 Citations1957J. J. van Loghem, Hanny Dorfmeier +1 more
Two examples of a blood group A with unusual properties are described, although the red cells contain a strong A antigen, the cells fail to agglutinate with anti‐A serum if routine tests are applied.

The patient's cells are strongly agglutinated by both anti‐I and anti‐i and this may represent the marrow stress phenomenon since she has a partially compensated hemolytic anemia and the entire picture may be one of a complex heritable structural abnormality of the red cell.

57 Citations1971J. A. Albrey, Eunice Vincent +5 more
A new antibody that reacts with all human bloods except those of type Fy(a‐b‐) has been named anti‐Fy3, believed to detect a previously unknown blood‐group antigen, which is possibly a precursor of Fya and Fyb.

48 Citations1965Philip Levine, Marino Celano +4 more
The second example of a —/— or Rhnull, LW‐negative individual is described, who delivered a mildly affected infant and produced only anti‐e.

The search for compatible red cell donors for an I- negative patient with anti-I found many I-negative patients in the hospital population, to the surprise of the researchers.

36 Citations1973Oscar Behzad, C. L. Lee +2 more
A new Duffy antibody, designated anti‐Fy4, was found to react with all samples of type Fy(a‐b‐), some of typeFy( a‐b+) and Fy (a+b‐, and none of type H2O2).

21 Citations1965W. J. Jenkins, W. L. Marsh
It is concluded that the mutation has modified a common gene involved at some stage in the development of both blood group antigens as both Rhesus and Duffy genes are affected.
