BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Serological classification of RhD-negative and weak D is often insufficient in admixed populations, where diverse RHD variants have clinical implications. In Brazil's highly admixed population, RhD interpretation and donor-recipient matching are particularly challenging. We used Duffy phenotyping to support ancestry inference and contextualize Rh variants. Understanding RHD alleles and...
