The genomic dna sample was sent to grifols ih center for sequencing.Next generation sequencing interrogated rh genes proximal promoter, exons 1-10, and portions of intron 2-3.No variant was found in rh genes and sequencing provided a genotype rhce*ce, rhce*ce, but id core xt reported a genotype rhce*ce, rhce*ce.Id core xt determines c/c antigens interrogating polymorphism rhce:c.335+3039ins109 in rhce gene intron 2.The presence of the 109 bp insert is associated with c antigen.However, this sample carries a rare allele described by isbt as rhce*02.37 that provides a c+ phenotype but lacks the 109 bp insert.Id core xt reported a predicted c- phenotype, but the serology data from the user is c+, due to the presence of rare rhce*02.37 allele.Since id core xt obtained a false negative result, this is considered a discrepant result and then a malfunction.This limitation is covered by the general assay limitation described in the id core xt package insert (limitation 1).
