Hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn, RH-induced

Synonyms
RH DISEASE; RH FETOMATERNAL INCOMPATIBILITY

Summary

Rh-induced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFNRH) occurs in pregnancies in which mothers who lack the D antigen (RhD) of the Rh blood group (111690) have been exposed to the RhD-positive red cells of the fetus. The resulting maternal autoantibodies cross the placenta and destroy fetal red cells (summary by Urbaniak and Greiss, 2000). [from OMIM]
