Description

A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of cerebral hemorrhage. Blood type testing on admission with the automated instrument AutoVue Innova® showed weak reactivity to anti-D, indicating the possibility of weak D or partial D. Further examinations using anti-D polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies showed a similar reactivity pattern as for the partial D category DBT phenotype.<br> The genomic DNA analysis by polymerase chain reaction with RHD exon-specific primers revealed no amplification of exons 5 to 7, and the following cDNA analysis suggested exons 5 to 7 of the RHD gene were replaced by RHCE equivalents. Thus, the patient was identified as DBT-1 (RHD-CE (5-7)-D).<br> Reactivity of the anti-D by column agglutination technology is generally strong compared to that of the tube method. It is therefore important to keep in mind the possibility of weak D or partial D if the reactivity of the anti-D by column agglutination technology is weaker than 3+.<br>
