The alleles RHCE*ceBI (RHCE*ce 48C, 712G, 818T, 1132G) and RHCE*ceSM (RHCE*ce 48C, 712G, 818T) encode the low-prevalence Rh antigen STEM. These alleles frequently travel in cis with RHD*DOL. To estimate the frequency of these alleles, we tested a total of more than 700 samples in two populations. Blood samples were obtained from patients with sickle cell disease and from blood donors of African descent. DNA...
