Abstract Objectives Identification of DNT, a rare partial D, can be challenging, as it is difficult to distinguish from D+. This study aimed to identify DNT individuals by analyzing the DNT proband’s family members, characterize DNT, and propose management strategies. Methods Family members of the first Korean DNT proband were recruited. RHD genotyping was conducted, and weak D tests were carried out using several anti-D reagents. Results Three DNT individuals were identified among 6 family members, including 1 with an anti-D alloantibody. As DNT red cells exhibited strong reactivity with all anti-D clones, DNT was serologically indistinguishable from D+. Moreover, unusual serologic findings in DNT individuals only became apparent after anti-D alloimmunization. Conclusions We recommend DNT individuals as candidates for Rh immune globulin prophylaxis during the perinatal period and transfusions with D– blood components. An anticipatory RHD genotyping is suggested for partial D family members to prevent potential partial D individuals from becoming alloimmunized.
