Description
Recent advances in Rh molecular testing have greatly expanded our knowledge of this complex blood group system. The use of molecular testing can be used to resolve RhD reagent typing discrepancies. The program will also cover specific examples of when molecular testing can be used to enhance and resolve challenging serologic investigations. Material will be presented in a lecture format with background information on the RH gene and with supporting case scenarios.





LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Describe resolution of RhD reagent typing discrepancies using molecular testing.
  • Differentiate partial versus weak D with molecular genotyping.
  • Discuss selected cases where molecular test results enhanced serological investigation.
  • Understand potential scenarios where Rh genotyping is useful.
  • Understand the molecular backgrounds related to Rh variants.
