Abstract
IN a recent communication, two of us1 described a serum which we think discloses the genotype of half the persons who are homozygous for the blood group factor Rh. This serum, St, agglutinates the red cells of about 80 per cent of people, including the 15–16 per cent who are Rh-negative and all the 48 per cent who are heterozygous, Rhrh. It fails to react with 20 per cent, all of whom must be homozygous Rhrh and be about half the total number of homozygotes (about 38 per cent of all people).
