Exon 6 of the Rhesus genes and parts of the adjacent introns. The sequence of the RHCE gene extending 202 bp 5′ of exon 6 to 1860 bp 3′ of exon 6 is shown. Numbers indicate the position relative to the first base of exon 5 in theRHCE gene. Exon 6 (bases 1902 to 2040) is demarcated by uppercase letters. Dashes denote nucleotides in the RHD gene that are identical, dots denote deletions. The breakpoint regions forD^VI type I, D^VI type II andD^VI type III are indicated by asterisks. Repetitive DNA elements are marked by carets. The full intron 5 and intron 6 sequences of RHCE and RHD were deposited in EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under accession numbers Z97333 (RHCE; 5,134 bp) and Z97364 (RHD; 5,146 bp).
