Abstract excerpt
An allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR) assay for prenatal genotyping of the Kidd antigen system in order to identify pregnancies at risk for haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) was developed. Oligonucleotide primers were designed for ASPCR of JKA and JKB. A validation study was...
