Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: RhD phenotypes that express a significantly reduced amount of RhD antigen per red blood cell may be mistyped as RhD-negative by standard serologic methods. The molecular identification of weak D Type 1, 2, or 3 carriers allows managing them as RhD-positive and, thus, rationalizes the use of RhD-negative stock units and the administration of Rh-immunoglobulin prophylaxis, avoiding unnecessary costs and...
