An Age-dependent ABO Discrepancy Between Mother And Baby Reveals A Novel Aweak Allele

Summary, in English

Discrepancies in ABO grouping arise due to different reasons, posing a threat to patient safety. Underlying causes include mixed-field agglutination after transfusion, chimerism, fetomaternal exchange, or inheritance of unusual alleles resulting in weak A/B antigen expression. Cord blood from the infant of a group A2 B mother typed as group O, H+. Samples were investigated to elucidate this conundrum.
