Background And Objectives: Next generation sequencing (NGS) has promising applications in transfusion medicine. Exome sequencing (ES) is increasingly used in the clinical setting, and blood group interpretation is an additional value that could be extracted from existing data sets. We provide the first release of an open-source software tailored for this purpose and describe its validation with three blood group systems.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed known blood group variants across different populations, identifying 41 novel population distributions and 12 new variants that need further research, while also linking these variants to specific chromosomal locations for future studies.
  • * The findings support the use of next-generation sequencing for predicting red blood cell phenotypes, providing vital chromosomal coordinates for 120 blood group variants to aid in clinical applications.
