Blood group genotyping by DNA array contributes to the management of transfusions in SCD patients by facilitating the transfusion support with antigen-matched blood. It has the potential to improve the life of thousands of SCD-transfused patients by reducing mortality due to transfusion reactions and immunization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
