Objective: This study employed next-generation sequencing (NGS) for large-scale genotyping of 42 blood group systems in blood donors to evaluate its applicability in multi-system blood group identification and rare blood type repository construction, while exploring the complementary value of third-generation sequencing (TGS) in haplotype phasing and variant capture in regions with insufficient sequencing depth for ABO ambiguous samples. Methods: A total of 562 regular blood donors (median donation frequency 11 times) from a blood center were enrolled. NGS was used for genotyping of 42 blood group systems, with a focused analysis on 12 systems essential for rare blood type repository construction: MNS, Lutheran, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, Diego, Yt, Colton, Gerbich, Ok, H, and I. TGS was employed to resolve haplotype phasing (i. e., determining whether different mutation sites are located on the same chromosome) in 12 ABO samples with discrepancies between forward and reverse typing. Serological and genotyping results were compared for MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Lewis, and ABO systems. Results: NGS-based genotyping revealed that Fy (a-b+) in the Duffy system accounted for 0.87% (4/458), and Di (a+b+) in the Diego system accounted for 10.62% (31/292). The Lutheran, Kell, Yt, Colton, H, Ok, I, and Gerbich systems exhibited near-uniform phenotype distributions. Among the 12 ABO ambiguous samples, NGS yielded multiple possible genotype combinations in 5 cases due to inability to phase alleles, whereas TGS uniquely resolved the genotypes through long-read sequencing. In one case, NGS detected only 2 mutation sites due to insufficient sequencing depth, while TGS identified all 11 sites and assigned the A1 phenotype. Concordance rates between serology and genotyping were: Duffy 96.55% (140/145), ABO 96.43% (513/532), Kidd 94.17% (97/103), MNS 85.07% (57/67), and Lewis 68.18% (75/110). In the MNS system, 7 of 8 samples serologically typed as M+N+ but genotyped as M-N+ carried GYPB variants. Lewis discrepancies predominantly featured genotype Le (a-b+) with serological phenotypes of Le (a+b-), Le (a+b+), or Le (a-b-). The NGS platform completed sequencing of 192 samples within 2 weeks. Conclusion: The tiered genotyping strategy combining NGS, TGS, and serology enables multi-system blood group identification in large-scale blood donor populations. TGS provides complementary value in phasing ambiguous ABO samples and detecting variants in regions with insufficient sequencing depth. This study provides a technical framework and baseline frequency data for the expansion of a local rare blood type repository. However, standardization and cost-effectiveness of this strategy require further validation with expanded sample sizes, and serological confirmation should be retained for secretion status-related systems such as Lewis.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of the combined detection of serum von Willebrand factor(vWF),monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1),and growth differentiation factor-15(GDF-15)for postpartum hemorrhage in patients with pernicious placenta previa(PPP).Methods One hundred and twelve patients with PPP admitted to our hospital between January 2021 and January 2024 were selected as the study group.They were further divided into a postpartum hemorrhage group and a non-postpartum hemorrhage group and 112 pregnant women with normal placental position during the same period were selected as the control group.ELISA was used to detect serum vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 levels.Results Serum vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group(P＜0.05).Serum vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in the postpartum hemorrhage group than in the non-postpartum hemorrhage group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis identified vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 levels as factors influencing postpartum hemorrhage for women with PPP(P＜0.05).The combination of serum vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 predicted postpartum hemorrhage in women with PPP better than either factor alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined detection of serum vWF,MCP-1,and GDF-15 levels has predictive value for postpartum hemorrhage in women with PPP.
