ABO: - 1,- 2,- 3ABO:1, - 2,3,4ABO:1, - 2,3,- 4 |
O A1 A2 |
|
MNS:1,2, - 3,4,5,- 6,7 |
M+ N+ S - s+ U+ He- Mi(a+) (in ISBT order)Symbols such as Mi.III or GP.Mur, En(a), Mk are also acceptable |
|
P:1 P:1 |
P1+ or P1 P1 or P2 (if shown to be GLOB:1) |
|
RH:1,2, - 3,4,5,- 8,- 32,33,- 36 |
D+ C+ E - c+ e+ Cw- Rh:32,33 Be(a- ) (in ISBT order)The order D C c E e would be an acceptable alternative. Probable genotypes as phenotypes (e.g. R1R2 or DCe/DcE; R1r Cw+ or DCe/dce Cw+) are acceptable, providing it is made clear that they are only probable genotypes based on haplotype frequencies. Null and mod phenotypes: Rhnull; Rhmod. |
|
LU: - 1,2,3,4 |
Lu(a - b+) Lu:3,4.Null phenotype: Lunull or Lu(a - b- ) |
|
KEL: - 1,2,- 3,4,5,- 6,7,11,12,13,- 17,- 21 |
K - k+ Kp(a- b+c- ) Ku+ Js(a- b+) K:11,12,13,17Null and mod phenotypes: K0 or Kellnull; Kmod. |
|
FY:1,2,3 FY: - 1,- 2,- 3 |
Fy(a+b+) Fy:3 Fy(a - b- ) Fy:3Fyx may be used as a phenotype |
|
DI:1,2, - 3,4,- 5,- 6,- 7 |
Di(a+b+) Wr(a - b+) Wd(a- ) Rb(a- ) WARR- |
|

|
H:1 |
H - . The symbol Oh may be used for the true Bombay phenotype (red cells totally H-deficient, ABH non-secretors). Otherwise the terms 'Red cell H-deficient secretor' and 'Red cell H-deficient non-secretor' are recommended. |
