The section 'Lewis Related Genes' contains a lot of mistakes!

Corrections that can be made:
1. There are 6 oligosaccharide precursors.
2. The Se-enzyme can act only on type 1 precursor before any modification of the Le-enzyme.
3. The Le-enzyme can act on various substrate: type 1 precursor(producing Le(a)) , H type 1 antigen (producing Le(b)), A type 1 (producing ALe(b)) and B type 2 (producing BLe(b))...
