چکیده

The complexity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which is the greatest of all blood group systems, confounds analysis at the molecular level. RH DNA typing was introduced in 1993 and has been applied to prenatal testing. PCR-SSP analysis covering multiple polymorphisms was recently introduced for the screening and initial characterization of partial D. Our objective is to summarize the accrued knowledge relevant to the approaches to Rh phenotype prediction by DNA typing, their possible applications beyond research laboratories and their limitations. The procedures, results and problems encountered are highly detailed. It is recommended that DNA typing comprises an analysis of more than one polymorphism. We discuss future directions and propose a piecemeal approach to improve reliability and cost-efficiency of blood group genotyping that may eventually replace the prevalent serology-based techniques even for many routine tasks. Transfusion medicine is in the unique position of being able to utilize the most extensive phenotype databases available to check and develop genotyping strategies.

گزارش یک مورد فنوتیپ نادر Rh--D: یک گزارش مورد

Background and Objective: Of all blood group systems, RH is one of the most important blood groups, which its compatibility is one of the essential principals of transfusion. Two genes (RhD and RhCE) locate on chromosome 1, and encode the Rh proteins. RhD is an immunogenic antigen. We describe a rare Rh phenotype D-- in this report. Case Report: A forty- nine- year- old man, who receiv...

ارتباط بین بیماری ویتیلیگو و گروههای خونی A، B، O و Rh

Background and Aim: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentary dermatitis on an otherwise normal skin, which involves 1-2% of general population. Despite Various hypotheses and theories postulated, its etiology remains unknown. Genetic factors and blood groups seem to be implicated, to some extent, in the etiology of the disorder. This study was done to determine the association of Vitiligo with A, B...

Total protein and DNA extracted from histologically diagnosed normal nonmalignant and esophageal tumor tissues were used for analysis of polypeptides pattern by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and DNA transforming activity in NIH 3T3 cell transfection assay, respectively. In comparison to normal tissues, eight polypeptides underwent down-regulation or disappeared, while seven polypeptid...

Study of Kell blood group genotype in alloimmiunized thalassemia patients

Abstract Background and Objectives Alloimmunization is the most serious problem in thalassemia patients and Anti-K is the most prevalent antibody in these patients. So accurate identification of this antigen can significantly decrease the rate of alloimmunization. Serological phenotyping is usually not reliable in multi-transfused patients. Molecular genotyping can overcome limitations of hema...
