BACKGROUND: DNA sequencing showed RHD mutations for all weak D phenotypes investigated in a study from Southwestern Germany. Molecular classification of weak D offers a more reliable basis than serotyping and is relevant for optimal D transfusion strategies. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Sequence-specific primers were designed to detect weak D types 1 to 5 and the partial D phenotype HMi in a modular set for...
