Our approach using a public database allowed us to investigate the prevalence and molecular basis of null phenotypes in the Korean population, which will serve as a guide for establishing a rare donor program in Korea. Considering the clinical significance, Jr(a-) is an important null phenotype that should be typed in the Korean population, and molecular assays targeting the most frequent allele ABCG2*01N.01 may be useful in detecting this phenotype.
