To determine the distribution and prevalence of the MiIII (GP.Mur) red blood cell phenotype among diverse ethnic groups in Taiwan.
Assessed the incidence of the MiIII (GP.Mur) erythrocyte phenotype across multiple Taiwanese ethnic populations, including indigenous and Chinese groups.
The frequency of the MiIII phenotype varied markedly by ethnic group, reaching the highest reported global rates among indigenous populations: 88.4% in Ami, 34.3% in Yami, and 21.2% in Puyuma.
MiIII-bearing red blood cells for diagnostic antibody identification panels can be reliably sourced from Ami donors, whereas compatible blood for individuals with anti-Mia antibodies is most available from Chinese donors.
