Lewis antigen system

Human blood group system

The Lewis antigen system is a human blood group system. It is based upon two genes on chromosome 19: FUT3, or Lewis gene; and FUT2, or Secretor gene. Both genes are expressed in glandular epithelia. FUT2 has a dominant allele which codes for an enzyme and a recessive allele which does not produce a functional enzyme. Similarly, FUT3 has a functional dominant allele (Le) and a non-functional recessive allele (le).
