DEL variants: review of molecular mechanisms, clinical consequences and molecular testing strategy.

Abstract excerpt

Patients with DEL phenotype, a D variant with a low number of D antigens per red blood cell, are routinely typed as RhD-negative in serology testing and are detectable only by adsorption and elution techniques or molecular methods. DEL is of clinical importance worldwide, as indicated by its genotype-phenotype discrepancies among different populations and its potential to cause anti-D alloimmunization when DEL...
