Genetic basis of the K(0) phenotype in the Swedish population.

Transfusion - 1 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The absence of all Kell blood group antigens (K(0) phenotype) is very rare. K(0) persons, however, can produce clinically significant anti-Ku (K5) after transfusion and/or pregnancy and require K(0) blood for transfusion. Ten alleles giving rise to the K(0) phenotype have been reported: different populations were studied although none from Scandinavia. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Three K(0) samples were...
