Red Cell Antigen Genotyping
|
|
General
|
| |
Clinical Use:
|
These PCR assays are available for Duffy, Kell and Kidd blood groups and are used to determine the red cell antigen genotype in cases where the serological result (phenotype) is inconclusive; eg either recent transfusion or autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
Please note, there may be cases of phenotype/genotype discrepancies (altered protein expression) which could affect which antibody is predicted to be produced. |
