DEL, the weakest D variant, is mistyped as D-negative by routine serological assays. Transfusion of red blood cells expressing the DEL phenotype has the potential to elicit anti-D alloimmunization in D-negative recipients. The goal of this study was to recommend DEL typing strategies for serologically D-negative Asian donors.
