Changing practice: red blood cell typing by molecular methods for patients with sickle cell disease
9 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Extended red blood cell (RBC) antigen matching is recommended to limit alloimmunization in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). DNA-based testing to predict blood group phenotypes has enhanced availability of antigen-negative donor units and improved typing of transfused patients, but replacement of routine serologic typing for non-ABO antigens with molecular typing for patients has not been...
