Conclusions:<br />
• The increasing number of known ABO variants with non-deletional<br />
alleles raises the question of their clinical significance – especially in<br />
blood donors.<br />
• Transfusion of red cell units with the variant ABO alleles O03, Aw08,<br />
and Ax03 typed and transfused as group O,<br />
and Bw20 typed and transfused as group A<br />
did not boost anti-A and anti-B titers in blood group O/A recipients .<br />
• For these variants no donor referral because of missing or weak<br />
isoagglutinins seems to be necessary .
