  • 2/223 donors with D negative phenotype initially, found to have D antigen expression (67 of the 223 samples of the cohort) or samples referred with discrepant or weak D typing, or discrepancies with previous typings, or anti-D in D positive individuals (156 of the 223 samples of the cohort) in the Indian population
  • 7/129 ( 1 homozygous, 5 hemizygous, 1 heterozygous with RHef00122) donors with weak D phenotype Thai
  • 3/353 samples referred for discrepant or weak D typing in the USA population
