Phenotype Frequencies of Major Blood Group Systems (Rh Kell Kidd Duffy MNS P Lewis and Lutheran) Among Blood Donors in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia

摘要

The understanding of blood group phenotypes in Saudi Arabia is limited to the ABO and Rh blood groups. Data for the other major blood group phenotypes in different populations have been widely studied and used as a reference for identifying antigen-negative blood in hospital blood banks. Such information is crucial for facilitating the challenging task of providing antigen-negative blood for patients with multiple antibodies.
