Molecular data

Nucleotides: 147del1;

Amino acids: V50Lfs*5;

Hybrid allele encompassing at least one RHCE exon: no

Comments on the molecular basis:

  • with additional intron deletion IVS1+6delA
  • NGS; additional intron deletion IVS1+6delA

Extracellular position of one or more amino acid substitutions:

  • No RhD protein is expected to be produced. However a DEL or D positive phenotype has been reported (see Phenotype section), implying the contrary. The resulting antigen may have an altered conformation.

Splicing:

  • "replication slippage may permit traces of functional protein"

Unconventional prediction methods:

Reports

Summary: few descriptions, possible European descent (last update: Jan. 6, 2021)
Detailed reports
  • 2/23330 donor samples with D negative phenotype, tested for RHD exons 4, 7 and 10 (94 were PCR positive, 74 weak D or DEL in subsequent serologic analysis) in the Austrian population, Upper Austria
  • 4/96 among almost 3 million blood donations, 621685 had D negative phenotype; 46133 donors were first time donors with D negative phenotype and, when tested, 96 had RHD intron 4 in the German population
  • 1/310 donors with D negative phenotype, C and/or E positive in the Italian population
  • 2 to 10 /136000 among about 136.000 donors with D negative phenotype, systematically tested for the presence of the RHD gene; the RHD gene was detected in 300 donors in the German population (some samples may overlap with other studies)
  • 1/16,253 samples of pregnant women with D negative of weak D (2+ or less), screened for fetal RHD in the Finnish population
  • 1 hemizygote among 278 samples selected for the development of nonspecific quantitative next-generation sequencing. (non-random samples, may have been reported in other studies)
