New Blood Study by Lianne Koets Maps Transfusion-Relevant Blood Antigens Across Populations
Lianne Koets, PhD Candidate at Sanquin, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Exciting news! I’m thrilled to share that our paper ‘Array genotyping of transfusion-relevant blood cell antigens in 6946 ancestrally diverse study participants’ has just been published in Blood.
A huge thank you to all co-authors and the Blood transfusion Genomics Consortium (BGC) for the great teamwork and dedication. And of course, a very special thanks to all blood donors — without their generosity, this study wouldn’t exist.”
