Absence of evidence of transfusion transmission risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the United States: Results froma 28-year lookback study
We report on a 28-year lookback study of recipients of blood from donors who subsequently developed CJD.METHODS: Patients with diagnosed CJD and a history of blood donation were identified. Blood centers were asked to provide information about the distribution of the donations and consignees were requested to provide information about the recipients of the donations. Vital status of each available recipient was determined and, if deceased, the reported cause(s) of death were obtained primarily from the National Death Index. All recipients included in the study database contributed person-time up to the last recorded review...

Epigenetic dissection of human blood group genes reveals regulatory elements and detailed characteristics of KEL and four other loci
DISCUSSION: This combined bioinformatics and experimental approach revealed multiple candidate regulatory regions and predicted TF co-occupancy sites. The KEL promoter was characterized in detail, indicating that two adjacent GATA1 and KLF1 motifs are most crucial for transcription.PMID:38644556 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17840 (Source: Transfusion)

Should HLA and HPA-matched platelet transfusions for patients with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia or Bernard-Soulier syndrome be standardized care? A Dutch survey and recommendations
CONCLUSION: Elective HLA-matching for GT and BSS-patients is already conducted by most Dutch (pediatric) hematologists. HPA-matching is mainly applied when HPA-antibodies are formed. Based on the current literature and the survey, recommendations are proposed.PMID:38642032 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17824 (Source: Transfusion)

Estimating the serological underrecognition of patients with weak or partial RHD variants
DISCUSSION: Based on AF, >80% of patients with weak or partial RHD variants were unrecognized serologically. Although overall anti-D rates were low, better detection of partial RHD variants is desirable.PMID:38634174 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17810 (Source: Transfusion)

Neutrophil antigen antibodies affect engraftment and secondary graft failure in hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation
DISCUSSION: The study reveals a potential link between anti-HNA and HPC transplantation outcomes not previously reported. Patients with anti-HNA had a lower proportion and cumulative incidence of achieving donor chimerism. Additionally, anti-HNA status affected the time for neutrophil engraftment, with a slower rate of neutrophil engraftment and increased risk of secondary failure in patients with anti-HNA.PMID:38634344 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17830 (Source: Transfusion)

Anti-D immunization after D positive platelet transfusions in D negative recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
DISCUSSION: Anti-D immunization is low after D incompatible platelet transfusions and dependent on recipients' sex and platelet source. We propose anti-D prophylaxis in girls and women, capable of becoming pregnant in the future, that received D+ platelets, regardless of platelet source, to reduce the risk of anti-D induced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.PMID:38634345 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17833 (Source: Transfusion)
