| Core Tip |
In this review, we explore the weak D phenotype, caused by Rhesus D antigen (RhD) blood group allele variations, which reduces RhD expression on red blood cells, impacting transfusion strategies and anti-D immunization risks. Molecular and novel genotyping techniques may be necessary for exact identification, and mitigate the risk of alloimmunization in these weak D traits. Implementation challenges such as standardization and financial constraints are quite prevalent in several countries. Hence it emphasizes the importance of accurate weak D phenotype identification and the potential of inculcating molecular techniques in transfusion medicine and obstetrics. |
