Weak D type 4 with RHD(T201R, F223V) is considered prototypical for a group of RHD alleles that carry various additional missense or silent mutations or both. According to the proposed nomenclature, the original weak D type 4 allele is designated weak D type 4.0. The weak D type 4.1 sample was 1 of the 6 samples described previously (see reference 26, Table 3); the other 5 samples represent weak D type 4.0.
