MNS antigen system - Wikipedia
The MNS antigen system is a human blood group system based upon two genes (glycophorin A and glycophorin B) on chromosome 4. There are currently 50 antigens in the system, [1][2][3][4] but the five most important are called M, N, S, s, and U.
The MNS blood group - Blood Groups and Red Cell Antigens - NCBI Bookshelf
The antigens of the MNS blood group are carried on sugar-bearing proteins called glycophorins. These lie in the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. One end of a glycophorin is attached to the underlying cell, and the other end bears the sugars and determines a person's MNS blood type.

Two genes encode the MNS antigens, GYPA and GYPB. Both genes are located on chromosome 4 (4q28.2-q13.1). A third gene, GYPE, may be involved in the creation of variant MNS antigens.

Glycophorins and the MNS blood group system: a narrative review
MNS antigens arise from several genetic mechanisms. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) contribute to the diversity of the MNS system. A new antigen SUMI (MNS50), p.Thr31Pro on GPA has been described in the Japanese population.
