Comprehensive survey of red blood cell unit life cycle at a large teaching institution in eastern Canada.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Transfusion support of S-s- patients is very challenging but can now be alleviated by genotyping mutations in the GYPB gene to predict their U- or U+(var) phenotype. However, the phenotype predicted by genotyping does not always correspond to the observed phenotype of red blood cells (RBCs), which requires f...
