Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Safe transfusion therapy requires accurate testing of blood donors and recipients to determine their ABO blood group compatibility. Genotyping does not always clarify serological blood typing discrepancies and conventional PCR methods are not suitable to identify ABO haplotypes. Therefore, an allele-specific long-range sequencing-based typing method was established. METHODS: Study samples (n = 100)...
