Abstract: BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that RhD positive heterozygotes express better health status than RhD positive homozygotes and especially RhD negative subjects. This also applies to pregnant women. According to the Trivers-Willard hypothesis, women in better… read more here.

Serological weak D phenotypes: a review and guidance for interpreting the RhD blood type using the RHD genotype

DOI: 10.1111/bjh.14757
Abstract: Approximately 0·2–1% of routine RhD blood typings result in a “serological weak D phenotype.” For more than 50 years, serological weak D phenotypes have been managed by policies to protect RhD‐negative women of child‐bearing potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.15325
Abstract: Serologic RhD‐negative blood donors are tested by a method known to detect weak D antigen expression. Serology does not detect all red blood cells with RhD expression and RHD genotyping has been used to identify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.17009
Abstract: The RHD and RHCE genes govern one of the most clinically important blood group systems and are highly polymorphic. New RHD variant alleles, influencing qualitative and quantitative D antigen expression on red blood cells (RBCs),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/vox.13357
Abstract: Despite declining transfusion rates, overuse of O RhD‐negative red blood cells (RBCs) risks the secure supply of this limited resource. A nationwide prospective audit was performed in Finland to understand the clinical use and inventory… read more here.
