Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Serologic typing for ABO and RhD is standard in transfusion services, with extended serology and genotyping performed to reduce red cell alloimmunization risk. In Kenya, RH typing is limited to RhD, and genotyping is unavailable. This study used RHD/RHCE genotyping to predict phenotypes and their distribution in a Kenyan blood donor population. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 191 donors (114 D-,...
