OBJECTIVES: A molecular analysis of serologically RhD variant samples was conducted to find the incidence of various D variants in our blood donor population.
BACKGROUND: Determining a blood donor's RhD phenotype and genotype is important as transfusion of units with a weak D or partial D phenotype can result in immunisation of the recipients.
METHODS: Samples with discrepant D and weak D phenotypes identified on testing with at least five different monoclonal anti-D antisera were considered serological RhD variant and subjected to molecular testing (Massarray kit, Agena Bioscience, San Diego) for variant RHD gene.
RESULTS: A total of 39 samples, including 19 RhD discrepant samples and 20 weak D samples, were identified as serological RhD variant from a total of 4386 samples. Thirteen (13/39) samples carried variants leading to weak D phenotype, and eight samples had variants leading to partial D categories. Seven samples (7) could not be characterised, whereas 11 samples were identified as Rh negative (RHD*01N.01) after molecular testing. Overall incidence of D variants in the study population was 0.48%. RHD*weak D type 1(5, 0.1%) and RHD*DFR1 (5, 1%) were the most common variants identified.
CONCLUSIONS: Few samples with weak reaction on serological testing were found to be partial D variant and vice versa. Donor centres should develop a protocol for genotyping of samples with aberrant results on serological testing for assessing the actual RhD status of an individual as results of serological testing may be misleading.
