Genetic background of anti‐<scp>CD99</scp> producers in Japan and analysis of hemolytic transfusion reactions due to anti‐<scp>CD99</scp>
All five anti-CD99 producers were females with a history of pregnancy in Kyushu, Japan, and this deletion allele may thus be endemic. Our results indicated the possibility of HTR due to anti-CD99, and the risk is low when transfusing RBC products from Xg(a-) females with a low expression of CD99.
