Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Rh system is complex and consists of as many as 45 different antigens. Red cells of about 25 percent of the black population carry VS an Rh-system antigen (Rh20), but this antigen is very rare in whites. VS positivity is always associated with a weak expression of e, and usually also of C. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The RH genes of 11 black VS-positive donors were studied. Transcripts were...
