The genomic dna sample was sent to (b)(6) center for bi-directional-sequencing.Sequencing interrogated rh genes exons 1 to 10.The rhce allele genotype: rhce*ce(48c,105t), rhd*cevs.03 and the rhd allele genotype: rhd*dau0, rhd*cevs.03 (4-7) were identified.The weak c antigen expression predicted on this patient's rbcs is encoded by the found rhd*cevs.03(4-7) variant allele, which is part of the r's type 2 haplotype.This c antigen was originally reported as very weak expression (2009 transfusion vol.49 p.495).Id core xt reported a predicted c- phenotype, but rhd*cevs.03(4-7) variant allele, which is part of the r's type 2 haplotype and not interrogated by id core xt, is associated with a very weak expression of c antigen.This false negative result obtained by id core xt is considered a discrepant result and then a malfunction.This case report is covered by limitation number 1 of id core xt package insert.
