A Korean family with RHD*DNT only detectable after anti-D alloimmunization
CONCLUSIONS: We recommend DNT individuals as candidates for Rh immune globulin prophylaxis during the perinatal period and transfusions with D- blood components. An anticipatory RHD genotyping is suggested for partial D family members to prevent potential partial D individuals from becoming alloimmunized.PMID:37852281 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad132 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Standardization of a multiplex assay to identify weak D types in a mixed-race Brazilian population
Immunohematology. 2023 Oct 16;39(3):93-100. doi: 10.2478/immunohematology-2023-016. eCollection 2023 Sep 1.ABSTRACTRH allele variability is caused by several types of variants, resulting in altered RhD and RhCE phenotypes. Most of the weak D phenotypes in European-derived populations are weak D types 1, 2, or 3, which are not involved in alloimmunization episodes. However, the Brazilian population is racially diverse, and the accuracy of molecular and serologic tests developed in recent years has allowed for the identification of other RH variants, that are common in the Brazilian population, such as weak D type 38 or weak...
