(52 cards)
The Rh system genes are:
a. RHD and RHCE.
b. RHD and LW.
c. RHD and RHAG.
d. RHCE and RHAG.
A
RHD and RHCE are proposed by __________; Located on chromosome ____
Tippett; 1
RHAG gene is located on chromosome ____
6
RHAG gene can express any Rh antigen. RHD controls the expression of RhD.
A. S1 is true
B. S2 is true
C. Both are true
D. Both are False
B
Presence of 3 separate genes D,C,E and alleles c and e
Fisher-Race (DCE Nomenclature)
Most common in blacks (Weiner)
R0r
Most common in Asians/Whites
R1r
African-Americans
R0>r>R1>R2
Caucasians
R1>r>R2>R0
A system that assigns a number to each antigen in order if its discovery or recognized relationship to the Rh system
Rosenfield (Alpha-numeric Terminology)
ISBT
International Society of Blood Transfusion
In ISBT Nomenclature, the first 3 numbers represent the system, While the Last 3 numbers represent the ANTIGENIC SPECIFICITY.
A. Only one statement is true
B. Both statements are true
C. None of the statements are correct.
Correct order of Immunogenecity:
D>c>E>C>e
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
Increased number of D antigens on RBC
Rh Deletion
Antigen is not expressed on RBC due to an abnormality in Transmebrane Protein
Rh null
Type of Rh null that has mutation in RHCE, Deletion of RHD and Normal RHAG gene
Amorphic type of RH Null
Type of RH null that has mutation in RHAG gene
Regulator Type
