First investigation of RH gene polymorphism in patients with sickle cell disease and associated blood donors in Cameroon, Central Africa.
Beyond the comprehensive report of the nature and distribution of RH variant alleles in a subset of Cameroonian patients treated by transfusion therapy, this work highlights the need for an extensive review of current practice, including routine serologic typing procedures, preferably in the near future.
