Abstract excerpt
Rh blood group system is highly immunogenic, encoded by two closely linked genes; RHD and RHCE. The proximity of the genes can result in mutations resulting in hybrid genes and hence Rh variants like D-- and D··. Both variants are similar, difficult to distinguish serologically. D·· is characterized by RH CE-D-CE rearrangement resulting in Evans antigen. Anti-Rh17/Hro formed as a result of alloimmunization can...
