Summary. The purpose of this study was to discover hypothetic K p . In a previous study it had been vainly sought by screening with anti‐Kl and then studying the families in which the phenotype K:1,3 occurred. In the present study the approach was through screening with anti‐K3 instead of anti‐Kl and then examining K:1,3 families. K p was not found. From the two studies the frequency of K p , if it exists, is less than 1 in 20,000 in Caucasians.
