Sequencing interpretation: the sample is heterozygous at c.676g>c which is consistent with a e+e+ individual1,2.The sample is also heterozygous for a nonsense mutation at rhce c.221g>a ((b)(6)) which would cause a premature stop codon.All exons for rhce were sequenced.It is probable that the truncated protein which is a result of the nonsense mutation is causing the discrepancy between precisetype hea beadchip (b)(6) phenotype results and serology results.It is recommended that the other rhce results are also confirmed serologically.
