Allo‐antibodies produced by K‐negative pregnant women against a fetal K antigen from the Kell blood group system may cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Predicting the fetal K antigen using noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is important for decisions concerning management of pregnancies. Digital and droplet digital PCR techniques permit the detection of fetal single nucleotide variant with a higher specificity and sensitivity than real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
