A physician requests donor RBC units that are phenotypically

A physician requests donor RBC units that are phenotypically matched for a very young sickle cell patient. Her phenotype is: D+, C, E, c+, e+ (R₀r), S, s+, M, N+; Le (ab); Fy (ab); Jk (a-b+). Which donor population (race) would you test to find a close match? Which antigens are not important to match because of the corresponding antibody’s clinical
