How does genotyping overcome current limitations of serology? Molecular analysis for determining blood group phenotypes directly determines alleles that code for surface antigens. In which cases is genotyping a better option? Transfusion dependent patients (with sickle-cell disease, thalassemia or cancer), who are at risk of alloimmunization can benefit from individualized RBCs through extended antigen matching.1 When RBC’s are coated with antibodies. In patients showing a positive direct antiglobulin test due to in vivo sensitization.2 When patients have had recent transfusions, it is difficult...
