Program Description
Over the past decades, the number and our understanding of altered RH alleles has increased significantly. While serologic methods were initially used to describe altered Rh phenotypes, molecular methods have provided an explanation for the altered expression of Rh antigens. In addition, they have uncovered over 1,000 RH alleles in various human populations. Understanding the genetic mechanisms that lead to altered RH alleles and the currently available detection methods can improve selection of blood for transfusion.
In this program, the faculty will review the transfusion challenges presented by patients with altered RH alleles and discuss case studies that exemplify the strengths and limitations of current testing strategies.
