Sex-specific genetic modifiers identified susceptibility of cold stored red blood cells to osmotic hemolysis
Abstract Background Genetic variants have been found to influence red blood cell (RBC) susceptibility to hemolytic stress and affect transfusion outcomes and the severity of blood diseases. Males have a higher susceptibility to hemolysis than females, but little is known about the genetic mechanism...
