OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the percent of the donor
population in a South Texas community positive for the red cell antigen Diego a (Di a) and to …

Background: Diego blood group antigen, Di (a), is very rare among Caucasians and Blacks,
but relatively common among the South American Indians and Asians of Mongolian origin …

The Diego blood group system has had its primary applications in population genetics and
anthropology, although it can also give rise to clinical problems. Anti-Dia has ofter been …

Abstract Background The Diegoa antigen commonly occurs in certain Asian and South
American Indian populations. In general, hemolysis caused by anti-Diegoa antigen is not …

Since its discovery in 1953, the presence of the antigen Diego (Di) has been related to the
Mongoloid populations and American natives. Given its immunogenic potential, the …

Dia occurs with a frequency of 8.2 to 14.7 percent in Mexican‐Americans living in three
Texas communities. Of 4225 blood samples tested, only six (0.14%) were Di (a+ b‐), and …

Background: Diegoa antigen has not been found in pure Caucasians and is known to be
present exclusively among American Indians and Mongolians. Dia occurs with a frequency …

The Diego blood group factor was shown to be present in a family of Puerto Ricans. 609
other Puerto Ricans were Diego negative. The fourth reported case of anti-Diego is …

Abstract Introduction: The Diego blood group is an irregular blood system which has been
involved in cases of hemolytic disease of the newborn and post transfusion reactions, in this …

The paucity of appropriate reagents for serologic typing of the Diego blood group antigens
has prompted the development of a real-time PCR and melting curve analysis for Diego …
