To explore the genetic mutation mechanism of a rare Rhesus D variant individual. Regular serological assay was used for determination of Rh type for the sample. Indirect anti-human globulin test (IAT) was used to confirm the RhD antigen and screen the antibodies. D-screen reagent was used to analyze the RhD epitopes of the sample. RHD genotype and RHD zygosity testing of the sample were detected by palymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The full length coding region of RHD gene was sequenced. RHD mRNA was detected using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The PCR products were cloned and sequenced. The RhD blood group of the sample was determined as weak D, and the Rh phenotype was CcDEe. The antibody screening was negative. The sample tested with all monoclonal anti-Ds in D-screen showed the D epitope profiles as partial D types. The analysis of RHD gene sequence indicated that the individual with RHD c.845G/A and RHD c.1227G/A base heterozygosis. Three kinds of alternative splicing isoforms were obtained by TA cloning and sequencing. The object has RHD c.845G/A and RHD c.1227G/A mutation. This heterozygous mutation is responsible for the low expression of RhD antigen on the red blood cells of the sample.
