Two women with Rh 0 variants are reported. Both had received transfusions and had anti‐Rh antibodies. One was found to have anti‐Rh ACD and anti‐Jk a and represents a phenotype not reported previously. The other was the mother of a child with a mild hemolytic disease caused by anti‐Rh CD . Family studies of both patients showed transmission of Rh cd but not Rh acd . Emphasis is placed on transfusing Rh 0 negative blood to Rh 0 variants lacking any or all of factors Rh A , Rh B , Rh C and Rh D .
