Additional comments

This allele was initially described as weak D type 4 and has a much lower alloimmunization potential than the "true" DAR-alleles carrying I342T. Although the original DAR publication investigated a sample with a considerably different phenotype and reported an incorrect sequence, the ISBT chose to use the DAR naming for the whole RHD(T201R, F223V) related branch.
