Abstract: Objective

To identify type discrepancy blood accurately by applying genotyping technique in leukemia children for ABO blood type identification, avoiding the interference of disease and other factors, ensuring transfusion safety.

Methods

Micro-column agglutination was used for ABO blood type serological identification. The DNA was extracted from whole blood of leukemia children. Exon 1-7, enhancer and promoter regions of ABO gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). PCR products were directly sequenced, and the results were compared with those of the Blood Group Antigen Gene Mutation Database to identify ABO genotyping.

Results

The serological result of 1 leukemia children might be subgroup A, genotype A102/O01, so it was identified as A blood type. The another serological result might be subgroup B, genotype B101/O01, so it was identified as B blood type. Red cell products of compatible blood type were transfused to the 2 patients without any adverse reaction.

Conclusions

The results of forward and reverse tests for the 2 children are not accordant because of diseases, which make us hard to identify blood type. However, it helps us with ensuring the transfusion safety and effectivity by ABO genotyping technique.
