- Abstract
The article offers information on the study of screening for Vel-negative phenotype in southeastern Brazil. Topics discussed include identification of Vel-negative phenotype that it is inherited as a 17-nucleotide deletion homozygote in exon three of the small integral membrane protein one (SMIM1) gene; molecular strategy used to identify Vel-negative donors using pooled DNA recovered from the viral nucleic acid test routine; and identifies frequency of Vel-negative donors in Brazil.
