Abstract:Introduction: Existence of hundreds of RHD gene variants contributes to variable D antigen expression and inconsistencies in reporting the RHD results. The aim of the study was to determine the serological and molecular characteristics of the most prevalent RHD alleles encoding serologically weak D variants. Material and Methods: Blood donors (n = 145 924) were typed for D antigen using the direct serologic micromethod. Nonreactive samples were analysed in IAT method with the IgM/IgG anti-D monoclonal blend, a… Show more
