The genomic dna sample was sent to grifols laboratory solutions for dna sequencing.Next generation sequencing interrogated rh genes proximal promoter, exons 1-10, and portions of intron 2-3.A hybrid rhce allele containing rhd exons 2 and 3 was found in rhce gene, and sequencing provided the genotype rhce*ce (rhce*01), rhce*ce-d(2-3)-ce.However, id core xt reported the genotype as rhce*ce.Id core xt determines the presence of c antigen by interrogating the polymorphism c.335+3039ins109 in rhce gene intron 2.The extent of the rhd exon 2-intron 2-exon 3 sequence includes the replacement of rhce*c intron 2 sequence and explains the failure of id core xt to predict a c+ phenotype.Id core xt predicted a c- phenotype, but the serological data indicated a c+ phenotype, attributable to the presence of the rare rhce*ce-d(2-3)-ce allele.This id core xt false negative result is considered a discrepant result and then a malfunction.Nevertheless, further serological investigation is recommended to fully characterize this unreported hybrid allele.This limitation is covered by the assay limitations described in the id core xt package insert limitations 1 and 9.

It was reported that the sample (b)(6), from "(b)(6)", was tested with serology.The test result was positive (c+), which contrasted with the molecular typing performed on (b)(4) 2023, using the id core xt assay which provided negative results (c-) with id core xt analysis software v3.0.2.
