Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic effects and clinical outcomes of HCC patients, who received both RhD and RhE same phenotypic blood transfusion during perioperative period. METHODS Microcolumn gel technology (MGT) was used to detect Rh blood group phenotyping in 98 HCC patients. Patients received RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion were defined experimental group, and those received only RhD same phenotypic but RhE different phenotypic transfusion were included in control group. Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) before and after perioperative transfusion were analyzed. The occurrence of adverse transfusion reactions were observed. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS After the transfusion treatment, the Hb (118.9 ± 34.8 g/L vs 99.6 ± 26.9 g/L) and HCT [(34.0 ± 7.6)% vs (29.9 ± 8.8)%] of experimental group and the Hb (104.3 ± 36.2 g/L vs 94.8 ± 25.0 g/L) of control group were significantly higher than those before blood transfusion, respectively (all P < .05). In addition, Hb and HCT in experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group after transfusion (P < .05). For the adverse blood transfusion reactions, the incidence of backache was reduced in the patients received Rh same phenotypic transfusion compared with those in control group (1.9% vs 15.2%, P = .024). The overall survival of patients in experimental group was better than that in control group (log-rank P = .036). CONCLUSION Our study indicated that both RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion significantly increased Hb and HCT and reduced backache incidence than RhE different phenotypic transfusion in HCC patients. The overall survival of patients was improved by RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The Rh blood group system is the most polymorphic human blood group system. Previous studies have investigated variants in the RHD and RHCE promoter. The relevance of these variants to the Chinese Han population is further clarified in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 317 donors (223 Rh D-positive [D+], including 20 Del and 94 Rh D-negative [D-]) were randomly selected. The promoter regions and exon 1 of RHD and RHCE were amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) whose products were directly sequenced using forward and reverse primers. RESULTS Expected PCR products of the RHD promoter and exon 1 were amplified in 223 D+ individuals, including 20 Del individuals, and were absent in 81 of 94 D- individuals. Expected PCR products of RHCE were observed in all donors. Two single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were observed in the RHD promoter region. Moreover, 11 SNVs were observed in the promoter and exon 1 of RHCE. rs4649082, rs2375313, rs2281179, rs2072933, rs2072932, rs2072931 and rs586178 with strong linkage disequilibria were significantly different between the D+ and D- groups. [A;C] was the most common haplotype in the RHD promoter (NC_000001.11:g.[-1033A>G;-831C>T]). [G;T;T;A;T;A;C;G;A;C;G] was the most predominant haplotype in both total and D- groups. In D+ individuals, [A;C;T;G;C;G;C;G;C;C;C] was the most frequent haplotype in the RHCE promoter (NC_000001.11:g.[-1080A>G;-958C>T;-390T>C;-378G>A;-369C>T;-296G>A;-144C>G;-132G>A;-122C>A;28C>T;48C>G]). CONCLUSION We speculate that the SNVs/haplotypes found in this article cannot significantly affect gene expression. The present study findings should help elucidate the molecular basis of the polymorphic expression of RHD and RHCE promoter regions.

Genotyping versus phenotyping of non-ABO erythrocyte antigens in patients with the Mediterranean hemopathic syndromes: Effect of transfusion therapy. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0251576. [PMID: 34228734 PMCID: PMC8260000 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0251576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The Mediterranean hemopathic syndromes (MHS) are the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies in the Mediterranean basin. Transfusion therapy is the main therapy for these disorders, particularly for severe forms of the disease. Currently, pre-transfusion serological typing of erythrocyte antigens is the standard tool for reducing complications of transfusion in those patients. This study compared genotyping with phenotyping of non-ABO erythrocyte antigens in patients with MHS and assessed the effect of transfusion therapy on their results. One-hundred ninety-eight MHS patients were recruited, screened, and proven negative for allo-antibodies. They were grouped into two groups: (1) 20 newly diagnosed patients with no transfusion history and (2) 178 previously diagnosed patients undergoing transfusion therapy. Patients were interviewed and clinically examined. Full blood count (FBC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were done for group 1 only. Genotyping and phenotyping of non-ABO erythrocyte antigens were performed for group 1, and 25 patients out of group 2 were propensity score-matched (PSM) with group 1. Both groups were gender and age matched; 55% and 74% of groups 1 and 2 had major disease, respectively. Insignificant differences were observed between genotyping and phenotyping of non-ABO erythrocyte antigens in group 1, while significant discrepancies and mixed field results were noted in group 2 patients. Discrepancies were obvious with JKa, JKb, and little c antigens. Conclusively, molecular typing is a powerful tool for pre-transfusion testing in chronically transfused MHS patients. This testing reduces incidence of transfusion reactions. JKa, JKb and little c antigens are the most clinically significant non-ABO erythrocyte antigens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To screen RhCE variants in the Chinese Southern Han donors for molecular genetic analysis. BACKGROUND More than hundreds of RhCE variant alleles have been described to resulting in weak and/or partial expression of RhCE antigens, generation of low-prevalence antigens and/or absence of a high-prevalence antigen of Rh system, which mainly reported in the people of African origin. In this study, the serological screening and molecular genetic analysis of RhCE variants were performed in the Chinese Southern Han donors. METHODS The blood samples of E(+) donors were preliminarily collected. Then, RhCE antigens of the E(+) samples were further typed by using two sets of monoclonal anti-C, anti-c, anti-e and another anti-E. When weak expression of RhCE antigens was found, direct sequencing for 10 exons of RHCE gene, RH genotyping analysis by using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, flow cytometric analysis and even cDNA sequencing were performed. RESULTS A total of 4487 E(+) samples were collected and four samples with weak expression of antigens were detected. RHCE*Ce375G and RHCE*Ce667T variant alleles were identified in two samples with weak expression of e antigen, respectively. But no variant alleles were found in another two samples with weak expression of C antigen. CONCLUSION The variant RHCE*Ce375G validated by mRNA sequencing and the deduced RHCE*Ce667T alleles were firstly identified in the Chinese population. The DCE haplotype might account for the weak expression of C antigen in two donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The provision of compatible blood products to patients is the most essential task of transfusion medicine. Besides ABO and Rh, a number of additional blood group antigens often have to be considered for the blood supply of immunized or chronically transfused patients. It also applies for platelet antigens (HPA) and neutrophil antigens (HNA) for patients receiving platelet or granulocyte concentrates. Here, we describe the molecular screening for a number of blood group, HPA, and HNA alleles. Based on the screening results we are building up a regional blood donor registry to provide extended matched blood products on demand. METHODS We developed and validated TaqMan™ PCR and PCR-SSP methods for genetic markers defining 37 clinically relevant blood group antigens (beyond ABO and Rh), 10 HPA, and 11 HNA. Furthermore, we describe a feasible method for fast molecular screening of the HNA-2null phenotype. All data were statistically evaluated regarding genotype distribution. Allele frequencies were compared to ExAC data from non-Finnish Europeans. RESULTS Up to now more than 2,000 non-selected regular blood donors in south-west Germany have been screened for blood group, HPA, and HNA alleles. The screening results were confirmed by serology and PCR-SSP methods for selected numbers of samples. The allele frequencies were similar to non-finnish Europeans in the ExAC database except for the alleles encoding the S, HPA-3b and HNA-4b antigens, with significantly lower prevalence in our cohort, as well as the LU14 and the HNA-3b antigens, with a higher frequency compared to the ExAC data. We identified 71 donors with rare blood groups such as Lu(a+b-), Kp(a+b-), Fy(a-b-) and Vel-, and 169 donors with less prevalent HPA or HNA types. CONCLUSION Molecular screening for blood group alleles by using TaqMan™ PCR is an effective and reliable high-throughput method for establishing a rare donor registry.
