B6: the genomic dna sample was sent to grifols ih center for dna sequencing of gypb exons 1-2, 4-6 and pseudo-exon 3.Two variants were found: gypb: c.251g>c when alone has only been described on the gypb*s allele (vox sang.2017 jun;112 suppl 1:55) and doesn't affect the expression of the s antigen and gypb: c.271-2a>t in intron 5 that has not been previously reported.Although its effect is unknown, the most probable location of this variant is on the allele gypb*s, based on the serology results, s (upper case) negative.Id core xt reported a predicted s (upper case) positive phenotype, but the serology data from the user is s-, due to the not interrogated variant gypb: c.271-2a>t.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 limitation described in the id core xt package insert (limitation 1 and 10).
