title: Successful Pregnancy Outcome in Malaysian Woman with Rare p Phenotype and Anti-PP1P(k) Antibody.
abstract: We report the first case of young woman with the p phenotype and anti-PP1P(k) antibody in the Malaysian population who was identified during a blood grouping and antibody screening procedure after her first miscarriage. Further family screening detected two other siblings who possessed the same rare phenotype and antibody. Because of difficulties in finding compatible units in the local population, the patient and her two siblings were advised to become regular blood donor. Their blood was frozen for future use. After she had two recurrent miscarriages, her third pregnancy was successfully managed using oral dydrogesterone, which was started from 10 weeks into the pregnancy. Her pregnancy was uneventful and she gave birth to a healthy term neonate.
