Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies in Blood Group Typing

Abstract excerpt

Sequencing of the human genome has led to the definition of the genes for most of the relevant blood group systems, and the polymorphisms responsible for most of the clinically relevant blood group antigens are characterized. Molecular blood group typing is used in situations where erythrocytes are not available or where serological testing was inconclusive or not possible due to the lack of antisera. Also,...
