Study on the gene frequency and polymorphism of 11 RBC blood group systems in RhD negtive population in Hunan, China / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the gene frequency and polymorphism of RBC blood group systems in RhD negtive population in Hunan, so as to lay a foundation for clinical blood transfusion and construction of multiple rare blood group database. 【Methods】 Blood samples were taken from 300 RhD negative blood donors, confirmed by serological method, from June 2019 to June 2020,. RHD genotyping was performed by SSP-PCR. For blood donors with typing results as RhD negative plus RHD gene deletion, antigens genotyping of MNS, Duffy, Kell, Domrock, Diego, Kidd, Sciawnna, Colton, Lutheran and Yt RBC blood group systems were performed by SSP-PCR and analyzed by the chi square test of SPSS 20 statistical software. 【Results】 RHD gene deletions accounted for 58.67% (176 / 300) of serological D negative blood donors. The gene frequencies were as follows MNS GYPB*S=0.045 5(8/176), GYPB*s=0.954 5(168/176), GYP*Dane=0.039 8(7/176); Duffy FY*A =0.965 6(170/176), FY*B=0.034 1(6/176); Dombrock DO*A=0.082 4(14.5/176), DO*B=0.917 6(161.5/176); Diego DI*A=0.025 6(4.5/176), DI*B =0.974 4(171.5/176); Kidd JK*A=0.485 8(85.5/176), JK*B=0.514 2(90.5/176); Kell KP*A=0.005 7(1/176), KP*B=0.994 3(175/176); Lutheran LU*A=0.005 7(1/176), LU*B=0.994 3(175/176); Yt YT*A=0.002 8(0.5/176), YT*B=0.997 2(175.5/176). The genotypes of Kell(K+ /k+ ), Scianna and Colton blood groups were KEL*02 /KEL*02, SC*01 /SC*01 and CO*A /CO*B, respectively. The expected frequencies of the combination of type O, RhD negative and other blood group systems were between 1/100 000 to 1/10 000. 【Conclusion】 Among RhD negative blood donors in Hunan, the gene profiles of MNS, Duffy, Domrock, Diego, Kidd, Kell and Lutheran blood group system were polymorphic, and Kell (K+ /k+ ), Colton and Scianna were homozygous. The data of other RBC blood group systems from RhD negative blood donors is of great significance to establish local database of rare blood groups.
