Maymoon Madkhali։ First Report of a Rare D– – Blood Phenotype in Saudi Arabia

Maymoon Madkhali, Head of Immunohematology and Genotyping Department at Ministry of Health Saudi Arabia, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Transfusion Medicine, adding։

”I am pleased to share our published research, ‘First identification and molecular characterisation of a rare
D– – blood phenotype donor in Saudi Arabia,’ in Transfusion Medicine.

This study represents the first documented case of this exceptionally rare blood type in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, revealing critical insights into rare phenotypes and advancing blood banking and transfusion services across the Kingdom.

Grateful to our exceptional collaborative team whose expertise and dedication made this achievement possible.”
