BACKGROUND: Antibodies to Gerbich blood group antigens are exceedingly rare and can cause moderate transfusion reactions. Several deletional variants of the GE-gene, that harbors long sequence repeats, enable alloimmunization and formation of naturally occurring antibodies.
SUBJECT AND METHODS: A female blood donor and soldier of the German Army without history of pregnancy or transfusion showed an antibody reactive with all test cells except for GE:-2-3 RBC. Thus, anti-Ge2 was suspected. Molecular analysis including fragment length specific PCR, Sanger sequencing and NGS should reveal the molecular background of the deficiency. Segregation of the variant alleles should be demonstrated by family analysis.
RESULTS: Compound heterozygosity for GYPC exon 2 (GE*01.-02) and exon 3 (GE*01.-03) deletion was detected in the donor and her sister. The mother had one exon 3 amplicon of reduced length, while the father heterozygously exhibited a truncated GYPC exon 2. NGS clearly demonstrated reduced coverages within the deletional fragments within each family member. The donor and her sister showed the complete absence of a 640 bp fragment.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Rare GE deletion variants can induce naturally occurring anti-Ge2 in Caucasians. Because of an enhanced risk of injury as soldier autologous RBC of the donor were cryopreserved. The donor and her sibling can give blood for each other because of identical ABO, Rh, and K antigen blood types.
