Fucosylated glycoproteins carrying α1-4 fucose residues are of importance for cell adhesion and as tumor markers. The Lewis gene, FUT3, encodes the only known α1-4-fucosyltransferase (FucT), and individuals who are deficient in this enzyme type as Lewis-negative on erythrocytes. We examined the mutational spectrum of the Lewis gene in Denmark and found 6 different mutations. Five, T59G, T202C, C314T, G508A, and T1067A, were frequent, and one, C445A, was only detected in one out of 40 individuals. Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction as well as cloning of FUT3 alleles showed that the 202 and 314 mutations were co-located on the same allele. COS7 cells transfected with an allele having the 202/314 mutations lacked enzyme activity. Polymerase chain reaction-cleavage assays were established for the genotyping of healthy individuals as well as 20 genuine Lewis-negative cancer patients and 10 non-genuine. The latter have Lewis-negative erythrocytes but saliva α1-4FucT activity. The genuine Lewis-negative individuals had mutations on both FUT3alleles. In 66 healthy individuals, a gene dosage effect was detected as FUT3 heterozygous individuals had a lower α1-4FucT activity in saliva than did homozygous wild-type individuals. The lower enzyme level in heterozygous individuals resulted in a significantly (p < 0.04) lower level of circulating sialyl-Lewis a structure in serum. This has the clinical impact that cut-off levels in tumor marker assays should be defined on the basis of genotyping. In the group of non-genuine Lewis-negative cancer patients, whose erythrocytes convert from Lewis-positive to Lewis-negative during the disease, FUT3 heterozygosity was significantly (p < 0.05) more common.
