ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

High rate of alloimmunization in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients poses a significant challenge in finding compatible blood unit. Accurate determination of the blood group genotype of them can help reduce the alloimmunization risk. Tetra ARMS PCR is a novel method that has been utilized recently to investigate SNPs in diseases in a fast and reliable way.

METHODS:

Our study included 104 SCD and sickle thalassemia (Sß) patients referred to Baghaei-2-Hospital of Ahvaz in 2019 using a nonrandom sampling method. Blood samples were collected for serological and molecular tests. Rh genotyping was performed using Tetra ARMS PCR and compared with the serological results.

RESULTS:

Based on the Tetra ARMS PCR method, out of 104 patients, 7 (6.7%) were d/d, 40 (38.5%) were D/d, 57 (54.8%) were D/D, 25 (24%) were C/C, 59 (56.7%) were C/c, 20 (19.3%) were c/c, 4 (3.8%) were E/E, 25 (24%) were E/e, and patients 75 (72.2%) were e/e. There were discrepancies in the serological and molecular results for 11 patients.

CONCLUSION:

Use of Tetra ARMS PCR in combination with serological methods for determining the Rh blood group system in donors and transfusion-dependent patients represents a remarkable transformation in the field of immunohematology.
