Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular variant RHD allele analysis is best complemented by detailed characterization of the associated D phenotype. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Variant D types were characterized using molecular typing, RHD sequencing, extended serologic D antigen investigations, and flow cytometric D antigen quantification. RESULTS: We discovered three novel weak D types termed weak D Types 45.1, 75, and 76 with RHD...
