BACKGROUND: Antibodies to Kell antigens can be clinically important but only limited data are published regarding anti-Ku. Missense nucleotide changes in KEL account for the numerous Kell antigens, the K(mod) phenotype, and even the K(null) phenotype.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: DNA and RNA were extracted from white blood cells and polymerase chain reaction-based assays, cloning, and sequencing were done using standard protocols.
RESULTS: The anti-Ku in Proband 1, which caused hemolytic disease and anemia of the fetus and newborn, was a mixture of immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 and IgG2 and gave macrophage indexes ranging from 47.8 to 59.3 (>20 is clinically significant) in a monocyte monolayer assay. The proband, her daughter, and compatible sister had a heterozygous deletion of a G in Exon 18 (Nucleotide c.1972_1975delG) in a KEL*02 allele causing a frameshift. The mechanism for silencing of the other KE*02 allele was undetermined. Proband 2 was heterozygous for a nonsense change (KEL*382C/T; Arg128Stop), a missense change (KEL*244T/C; Cys82Arg), and KEL*578T/C (KEL*01/KEL*02). Direct sequencing of cDNA and cloning showed that the KEL*01 allele had 244C, 382C, 578T and the KEL*02 allele carried 244T, 382T, 578C.
CONCLUSIONS: We report a novel single-nucleotide deletion, a novel nonsense allele, and a novel missense allele all resulting in the K(null) phenotype. The anti-Ku from Proband 1 was clinically important.
