Abstract
IN 1950, Race, Sanger and Selwyn reported1 a very unusual Rh phenotype characterized by an extraordinary strong reaction with anti-D sera and completely negative reaction with anti-C, anti-c, anti-E and anti-e sera. The case was explained as the homozygous form of a partially deleted Rh chromosome, designated D − −. Since then several examples of this chromosome have been reported, and further other partial deletions have been found2.
