The Duffy blood group system, besides its relevance in transfusion medicine, is of major interest for population genetics. In fact, the Duffy molecule is the only red cell receptor for Plasmodium vivax, thus the fixation of FY*silent allele in western south-Saharan Africa resulted in the absence of this type of malaria in that area (for a review see Kwiatowski, Am J Hum Genet 77:171-192, 2005). For the Duffy functional role see, for example, Daniels (Vox Sanguinis 93:331-340, 2007).
