The objectives of this research project are to confirm that the RhD phenotype is appropriately assigned in a population of prenatal patients that has not been studied for the presence of variant RhD gene alleles that would require them to be assigned an Rh-negative status and treated with Rh immune globulin.
Samples will be selected for analysis among prenatal samples from the Northwest Territo...

Summary:
The questions posed are:
1. Did genotyping identify unknown TB contacts or transmissions among cases studied? Examination of the genotype of each isolate of M. tuberculosis from reported cases in the NWT may identify epidemiological links among the studied cases not previously identified through conventional contact tracing. The study will quantitatively review epidemiological links established ...

2007 Summary:
The goals of this proposed study are: (1) To determine how common a particular genetic change, known as the P479L variant, is in NWT (2) To determine whether the P479L variant is associated with an increased risk for infant death and (3) To share results with the Medical Officers of Health and appropriate community and public health representatives in NWT to determine whether newborn screening for...
