Molecular genotyping of clinically important blood group antigens in patients with thalassaemia
1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: In multitransfused thalassaemic patients, haemagglutination fails to phenotype the patient's blood group antigens due to the presence of donor-derived erythrocytes. DNA-based methods can overcome the limitations of haemagglutination and can be used to determine the correct antigen profile of these patients. This will facilitate the procurement of antigen-matched blood for transfusion to...
