Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Kell system, encoded by the KEL gene, is one of the most clinically important blood group systems. Molecular defects may lead to the absence of Kell antigen expression. The very rare KEL:5 results from silent KEL genes, also called KELnull alleles. In a few cases, the rare KEL:1,-2 phenotype may be associated with silent KEL*02 alleles. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The aim of this study was to...
