Common in Blacks, No or weak with anti-D
Weak D
Weak D is detected by _________
Indirect Antihuman Globulin Test
Allele carrying RHD is in trans position with the allele carrying C
C in Trans to RHD
Anti D is fewer in number but still completely expressed
Genetic Weak D
Missing or altered D protein epitope
Partial D
Rh of a Partial D donor
Rh Positive
Rh of a Partial D recipient
Rh negative
