Rare “P-null” Phenotype – Two Case Reports from Western India

open access: yesGlobal Journal of Transfusion Medicine
The null phenotype in the P1PK blood group, known as “p,” is extremely rare in the world. Such individuals lack the three high-incidence antigens P, P1, and Pk.

Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn: Fetal RHD Genotyping, Targeted Prophylaxis, and Prenatal Therapies

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

The Diagnosis and Prenatal Management of Non‐RHD Alloimmunizations

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization remains a relevant cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Although RhD immunization has significantly decreased since the implementation of systematic prophylaxis, it is still the main cause of alloimmunization in pregnancy.

Autoimmune neutropenia in children: Test cells versus beads and a role for pro‐LL‐37 and absolute neutrophil count

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
A comparison between bead‐based and cell‐based assays for autoantibody detection in childhood neutropenia revealed substantial discordance between platforms. Bead‐based methods should be complemented with cell‐based methods for optimal diagnostic sensitivity. Incorporating pro‐LL‐37 and ANC measurements into the clinical workup of childhood neutropenia

Identification of rare blood group donors from biobank data

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Safe blood transfusion requires compatibility between recipient antibodies and donor red blood cell antigens, posing challenges for patients with rare blood group phenotypes, particularly those who are alloimmunized. Traditional identification of rare donors relies on targeted screening and labour‐intensive laboratory methods, often limited by ...

Italian Patients Journey for Gene Therapy in Haemophilia A

open access: yesHaemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Gene therapy (GT) provides sustained FVIII levels without repeated infusions in Hemophilia A (HA) patients thus overcoming a major limitation of replacement therapy. However, issues remain e.g., patient selection criteria, duration and variability of transgene expression, quality of life and long‐term safety.

Single‐centre analysis of severe Coombs‐positive autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in an HIV‐endemic population

open access: yesHIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a rare cause of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. We compared clinical and laboratory findings in AIHA patients with and without HIV. Methods We included adults with severe AIHA (haemoglobin ≤8 g/dL) diagnosed at a tertiary academic centre ...

Evaluation of point‐of‐care versus laboratory antiglobulin‐enhanced major crossmatch testing in cats

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives It is recommended that all cats, regardless of transfusion history, undergo major crossmatch prior to blood product administration to decrease the likelihood of immunological transfusion reactions. A reliable and user‐friendly point‐of‐care crossmatch test would help make crossmatch testing more accessible.

A retrospective analysis of the antigen‐negative red blood cell supply conducted at a single centre in China

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to analyse the distribution and demand patterns of antigen‐negative red blood cells (RBCs) in Shandong Province, China (2022–2024), with a focus on ABO blood groups and clinically significant antigens. The research was designed to provide rigorous data for advancing precision transfusion protocols and to establish a ...

Functional validation of a modified platelet desialylation test for immune and hereditary thrombocytopenias

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia arises from heterogeneous inherited and acquired disorders, and identifying the underlying platelet clearance mechanisms remains challenging. Platelet desialylation, characterised by loss of sialic acid and consequent exposure of terminal β‐galactose residues recognised by the Ashwell–Morell receptor, represents an ...
