ABSTRACT
Patients with DEL phenotype, a D variant with a low number of D antigens per red blood cell, are routinely typed as RhD-negative in serology testing and are detectable only by adsorption and elution techniques or molecular methods. DEL is of clinical importance worldwide, as indicated by its genotype-phenotype discrepancies among different populations and its potential to cause anti-D alloimmunization when DEL phenotype individuals are inadvertently managed as RhD-negative. This narrative review summarized the DEL alleles causing DEL phenotype and the underlying mechanisms. The clinical consequences and current molecular testing approach were discussed to manage the transfusion needs of patients and donors with DEL phenotype.
