A PCR‐based strategy for Dombrock screening in Brazilian blood donors reveals a novel allele: the <i>DO^*A‐WL</i>

Abstract

Molecular screening of Brazilians revealed one novel allele, the DO(*) A-WL. Our data highlight the importance of testing a cohort of different populations to determine DO haplotypes and to establish reliable genotyping tests for predicting Do(a)/Do(b) status.
