The statistical analysis was done using the HaploView Software.The study showed the dominance of the loci: RHCE*e, KEL*02, FY*02 and CO*01; and the absence of the homozygous state of the CO*02 allele. Furthermore, two complete linkage disequilibrium leading to the absence of the two alleles RHCE*C‐RHCE*E (C‐E) and FY*01N.01 (FY*Anull) were detected. Additionally, it appeared that approximately 91% of these blood donors are positive for the RHD gene; and all subjects who lacked the RHD exon 10 are homozygous for the RHCE*c and RHCE*e variants. The study also revealed that the RH1 negative blood cannot be universal to the Rh system because almost all RH1 negative donated blood is RH:‐2,4,‐3,5 (ccee), which may constitute a risk in some recipients carrying the anti‐RH4 and/or anti‐RH5 antibodies.Considering that some donated RBC units may contain blood with very immunogenic phenotypes, great caution is required when transfusing some subjects, especially in emergency situations because it can be a step towards subsequent complex or multiple alloimmunization. 10.1111/iji.12708 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
