Abstract
Human neutrophil antigens possess significant clinical implications especially in the fields of transfusion and transplantation medicine. Efforts to estimate the prevalence of genetic variations underpinning the antigenic expression are emerging. However, there lacks a precise capture of the global frequency profiles. Our article emphasizes the potential utility of maintaining an organized online repository of evidence on neutrophil antigen associated genetic variants from published literature and reports. This in our opinion, is an emerging area and would significantly benefit from the awareness and understanding of population-level diversities.
