Fetal RHD screening programs that aim to reduce unnecessary antenatal anti-D prophylaxis are being introduced into clinical practice. Strategies manage women serologically typed as Rhesus D negative who have maternal variants needed. This study describes allelic detected in nonselected and alloimmunised obstetric populations explores a mathematical approach identify these variants.Fetal status was defined by testing cell-free fetal DNA plasma. Women at risk of an variant were identified...
