Novel RHAG allele encoding the Rh null phenotype in Brazil

Novel RHAG allele encoding the Rh null phenotype in Brazil

Rh null is a rare phenotype characterized by the loss of Rh antigen expression. This phenotype can be related to several molecular backgrounds. In this study, we show a novel allele in a Brazilian pregnant woman encoding the Rh null phenotype due to a change in RHAG exon2 c.310C>T, which leads to...

Zusammenfassung:Rh null is a rare phenotype characterized by the loss of Rh antigen expression. This phenotype can be related to several molecular backgrounds. In this study, we show a novel allele in a Brazilian pregnant woman encoding the Rh null phenotype due to a change in RHAG exon2 c.310C>T, which leads to a premature stop codon (Gln104Stop).
