A review of evidence on non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) : tests for fetal RHD genotype [PDF]
, 2007 This report concentrates on three main areas. First and foremost, we set the background context for RhD NIPD in prenatal care. While the methodology chapter describes how the literature review was carried out and how additional information was collected,

Fetal Sex and RHD Genotyping with Digital PCR Demonstrates Greater Sensitivity than Real-time PCR. [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Noninvasive genotyping of fetal RHD (Rh blood group, D antigen) can prevent the unnecessary administration of prophylactic anti-D to women carrying RHD-negative fetuses. We evaluated laboratory methods for such genotyping.

Red blood cell alloimmunization and pregnancy: Diagnosis and management
Pregnancy, Volume 1, Issue 5, September 2025.Abstract Red blood cell alloimmunization in pregnancy is a major cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and neonate (HDFN), which can lead to fetal anemia, hydrops fetalis, and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The implementation of routine RhD prophylaxis has significantly reduced the incidence of RhD alloimmunization, especially in high‐income ...
