Key Points

To develop and validate an electrophoresis-free restriction enzyme-melting curve analysis (RE-MCA) method for rapid Diego blood group genotyping.
Extracted DNA from 110 red blood cell units and performed real-time PCR followed by direct restriction enzyme digestion using BsrFI, MspI, or NaeI.
Added 0% to 15% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions to resolve overlapping melting peaks in heterozygous samples and validated results against Sanger sequencing.
BsrFI achieved specific digestion without non-specific cleavage, with 10% DMSO successfully resolving DI*01/DI*02 heterozygotes into three distinct melting peaks (~82.0°C, ~76.8°C, and ~71.7°C).
Genotyping of 110 samples identified 100 DI*02/DI*02 (90.9%) and 10 DI*01/DI*02 (9.1%) cases, showing 100% concordance with Sanger sequencing.
