. During routine blood grouping, the patient's (L.S.) red cells typed as group O, but the serum lacked anti‐B agglutinins. Further investigation revealed that the red cells had no H antigen but did have a weak expression of B. The saliva contained both B and H in amounts comparable to normal B. Family studies provided evidence that this rare phenotype, designated B h m , is recessive, dependent on a genetic locus possibly independent of, but linked to, the ABO locus.
