Background: SERF(+) is a high prevalence antigen in the Cromer blood group system that is encoded by a CROM*01.12 allele. The SERF(-) on red cells is caused by a single nucleotide variation, c.647C＞T, in exon 5 of the Decay-accelerating factor, DAF gene. Alloanti-SERF was found in a pregnant Thai woman, and a SERF(-) individual was found among Thai blood donors. Since anti-SERF is commercially unavailable, this study aimed to develop appropriate genotyping methods for CROM*01.12 and CROM*01.-12 alleles and predict the SERF(-) phenotype in Thai blood donors.
Methods: DNA samples obtained from 1,580 central, 300 northern, and 427 southern Thai blood donors were genotyped for CROM*01.12 and CROM*01.-12 allele detection using in-house PCR with sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) confirmed by DNA sequencing.
Results: Validity of the PCR-SSP genotyping results agreed with DNA sequencing; CROM*01.12/ CROM*01.12 was the most common (98.42%, 98.00%, and 98.59%), followed by CROM*01.12/CROM*01.-12 (1.58%, 2.00%, and 1.41%) among central, northern, and southern Thais, respectively. CROM*01.-12/CROM*01.-12 was not detected in all three populations. The alleles found in central Thais did not significantly differ from those found in northern and southern Thais.
Conclusion: This study is the first to distinguish the predicted SERF phenotypes from genotyping results obtained using in-house PCR-SSP, confirming that the CROM*01.-12 allele frequency ranged from 0.007 to 0.010 in three Thai populations. This helps identify the SERF(-) phenotype among donors and patients, ultimately preventing adverse transfusion reactions.
