DNA analysis with BeadChip format, combined with computerized data entry and analysis, permits the prediction of minor blood group antigens.

It has been shown that microarray technology can be used to type DNA and detect new alleles in donor cohorts.

This study demonstrates that substantial fill fractions can be achieved by selecting existing donor units for xHEA analysis and operating an inventory management system for efficient allocation of units to recipients.

Our data demonstrate high heterogeneity of DO alleles in the Brazilian population. Our study also highlights the importance of testing a cohort of different populations to determine DO haplotypes and of establishing reliable genotyping tests for predicting Doa/Dob status.
