Clinical significance of anti-M in pregnancy and self-reported ancestry: The BEST Collaborative study

Anti-M antibodies were described as rarely eliciting hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in pregnancy. More recent literature, primarily from Asia, reports severe HDFN attributed to maternal anti-M. The objective of this study is to determine if there is a difference in the frequency and/or severity of anti-M HDFN among subjects who self-report as Asian compared to non-Asian.
