Molecular RHD screening of RhD negative donors can replace standard serological testing for RhD negative donors.

چکیده
This work aims to assess the value of a generalized molecular RHD screening strategy which could replace routine serological screening of weak D by indirect antiglobulin test. Three independent studies were performed at the two Blood Transfusion Services Berne and Zurich. Donors investigated were 652 RhD negative, but RhC and/or RhE positive, 17,391 mainly Rhccee, and 8200 with normal RhCcEe phenotype distribution. In study I single samples, in studies II and III minipools of 24 and 20 donor samples were tested, respectively. Among 26,243 phenotypically RhD negative blood donors, 65 carriers of RHD alleles were identified. Thirty-one of them were redefined as RhD positive.

Investigation of Paternal RhD Zygosity by Two Molecular Methods among Blood Donors in Kurdistan Province, Iran
Background: RhD antigen system is the leading cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Paternal molecular RhD zygosity test is valuable to decide on the use of anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis in Rh D-negative pregnant women. We aimed to investigate the paternal RhD zygosity by two molecular methods among blood donors in Kurdistan province, the west of Iran. We also compared...
متن کاملThe RHD gene is highly detectable in RhD-negative Japanese donors.
Recent molecular studies on the Rh blood group system have shown that the Rh locus of each haploid RhD-positive chromosome is composed of two structural genes: RHD and RHCE, whereas the locus is made of a single gene (RHCE) on each haploid RhD-negative chromosome. We analyzed the presence or absence of the RHD gene in 130 Japanese RhD-negative donors using the PCR method. The RhD-negative pheno...
متن کاملImplementation of a mandatory donor RHD screening in Switzerland.
Starting in 2013, blood donors must be tested at least using: (1) one monoclonal anti-D and one anti-CDE (alternatively full RhCcEe phenotyping), and (2) all RhD negative donors must be tested for RHD exons 5 and 10 plus one further exonic, or intronic RHD specificity, according to the guidelines of the Blood Transfusion Service of the Swiss Red Cross (BTS SRC). In 2012 an adequate stock of RHD...
متن کاملRhC Phenotyping, Adsorption/Elution Test, and SSP-PCR: The Combined Test for D-Elute Phenotype Screening in Thai RhD-Negative Blood Donors
The Rhesus (Rh) blood group is the most polymorphic human blood group and it is clinically significant in transfusion medicine. Especially, D antigen is the most important and highly immunogenic antigen. Due to anti-D, it is the cause of the hemolytic disease of the newborn and transfusion reaction. About 0.1%-0.5% of Asian people are RhD-negative, whereas in the Thai population, the RhD-negati...
متن کاملPrimary anti-D immunization by DEL red blood cells.
Extremely weak D variants called DEL are serologically detectable only by adsorption-elution techniques. A nucleotide change of exon 9 in RHD gene, RHD (K409K, 1227G>A) allelic variant is present in almost all the DEL individuals of East Asians. No DEL phenotype has yet been shown to induce a primary alloanti-D immunization in East Asia. A 68-yr-old D-negative Korean man was negative for anti-D...
