Article Synopsis
- The Rh system is highly diverse and crucial in transfusion medicine, with the discovery of a new partial D phenotype called DTI, which lacks certain D epitopes.
- Researchers analyzed RBCs from DTI and other partial D phenotypes using specific monoclonal antibodies and conducted DNA sequencing to understand the genetic makeup of DTI.
- The findings revealed unique amino acid substitutions in the DTI polypeptide and indicated that DTI is a result of a hybrid gene involving RhD and RhCE, inherited through maternal lineage, marking a significant contribution to the understanding of the Rh system.
