<scp>SARA</scp>: a “new” low‐frequency<scp>MNS</scp>antigen (<scp>MNS47</scp>) provides further evidence of the extreme diversity of the<scp>MNS</scp>blood group system

Abstract

We provide evidence that the SARA antigen is encoded by a SNV on GYPA and SARA has been reassigned to the MNS blood group system, now MNS47. This discovery provides a basis for application of genetic approaches in SARA typing when clinically indicated, for example, in HDFN.
