Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the RhD transcripts from the reticulocytes of three unrelated variants with the DVII category blood group phenotype has been determined. Our results indicate that the expression of the low frequency antigen Rh40 and the lack of epD8 at the surface of these variant RhD positive red cells are associated with a single point mutation, T329C, in exon 2 of the RHD gene. This nucleotide polymorphism results in a leucine to proline substitution at amino acid position 110 of the RhD polypeptide.Keywords
