. An example of anti‐Gy a found during routine antenatal testing is the first recorded example in Europe to be described. Five other Gy(a‐) siblings were found in the patient's family from whom blood donations were obtained in the event of a needed transfusion. Although anti‐Gy a was detected in the infant's serum, there was no evidence of haemolytic disease of the newborn, presumably due to the fact that the Gy a antigen is poorly developed at birth.
