The genomic dna sample was sent to grifols ih center for bi-directional sequencing.Sequencing interrogated jk gene exons 3 to 10 and the genotype jk*a(191a) homozygous was identified.The allele jk*b(191a) is a null allele reported by isbt, jk*02n.09, but this null mutation is not reported on a jk*a background.Since the genotype result is jk*a(191a) homozygous and the serology is jka-, the new null allele jk*a(191a) is confirmed.Id core xt reported a predicted jka+ phenotype, but jk*a (191a) null allele, not interrogated by id core xt, is found associated with a jka- phenotype.This false positive result obtained by id core xt is considered a discrepant result ,and then a malfunction.This limitation is covered by the general assay limitations described in the id core xt package insert (limitations 1 and 10).
