Impact of RHD genotyping on transfusion practice in Denmark and the United States and identification of novel RHD alleles

Abstract: Background Reduced D antigen on red blood cells (RBCs) may be due to “partial” D phenotypes associated with loss of epitope(s) and risk for alloimmunization or “weak” D phenotypes that do not lack major epitopes with absence of clinical complications. Genotyping of samples with weak and discrepant D typing is recommended to guide transfusion and RhIG prophylaxis. The goal was to compare the impact of RHD genotyping on transfusion practice in two centers serving different populations. Study Design and Methods F… Show more

“…The working group recommends RHD genotyping for patients with serologically weak D phenotype and suggests that weak D types 1, 2, and 3 patients can be safely managed as D+. However, the RHD weak D type 1 , 2 , and 3 alleles, the most frequent weak D alleles in Caucasians, 11–14 were not identified or rarely detected in our study and other previous reports in the Chinese population 16,17,22,28–32 . Therefore, detecting weak D type 1 , 2 , and 3 alleles for Chinese D variant patients is unnecessary.…”

“…The molecular events underlying the D variants differ greatly by ethnicity. 10 For example, RHD*weak D types 1, 2, and 3 are the most common molecular background of the D variant phenotype in Caucasians, 5,[11][12][13][14][15] whereas RHD*weak partial 15 and RHD*DVI.3 are the most common RHD alleles in Chinese D variant individuals. 16,17 Therefore, each region should have a population-specific RhD serological and genetic typing strategy based on the spectrum of prevalent RHD variant alleles.…”

“…15 Zygosity was undetermined unless heterozygous variants were detected. Reference RHD analysis (New York Blood Center 16 ) was obtained in one case with exon-specific low signals. One case underwent DNA-based RBC phenotyping (HEA BeadChip, Immucor BioArray Solutions, Warren, NJ).…”

“…In predominantly White populations, weak D types 1, 2 or 3 are generally the most prevalent weak D phenotypes [3][4][5][6]. One exception is Québec (Canada), where weak D type 42 (conferred by RHD*01W.42) is the most common weak D phenotype [7].…”
