In 1972 , a pregnant woman's red blood cells seemed to lack a surface marker, known as an antigen, that everyone else seemed to have.
No one knew why.
It took Louise Tilley and her colleagues 19 more years to discover the genetic basis that causes someone to have blood like this.
The findings mark the discovery of the 47th blood group system.
AnWj antigen (encoded by the MAL gene) was present on the surface of most people’s red blood cells.
Researchers found the gene responsible for this rare red blood cell variation.
Now that they know the gene in question, it should make it much easier to find AnWJ-negative people who could become blood donors.
