Red blood cells can be stored up to 42 days, after which they progressively develop a series of storage lesions—partly because of oxidative stress. A recently published study employed an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating metabolomics, mouse models, and genome-wide association studies to identify genetic factors affecting RBC storage lesions and hemolysis. RBC units (n=13,091) from donors were tested for hemolysis. Those…
