Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Red cell type RhD(Va) lacks epD1 and 5 and is encoded by hybrid RHD-CE(5)-D alleles. We analyzed RhD(Va) and RhD(Va)-like samples in Japanese blood donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten RhD(Va) samples lacked epD1 and 5 and 3 RhD(Va)-like variants also lacked, epD2 and a part of 6/7. We identified the full-length nucleotide sequences of the complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesized from 4...
