The need for routine detection of the Asian‐type DEL allele in individuals with weak or partial D phenotypes from East and Southeast Asian populations
The RHD*DEL1 allele occurred often in the Chinese individuals with weak/partial D phenotypes who showed a lack of anti-D alloimmunization. Routine Asian-type DEL genotyping is recommended both in serologically D- and weak D/partial D individuals with East and Southeast Asian ancestry to consider Asian-type DEL carriers as D+ individuals during transfusion and pregnancy.
