. Investigation of the inheritance of a ‘new’ low‐incidence red cell antigen (Fr a ) indicates that it is an autosomal dominant marker and not part of the ABO, MNSs, P, Rh, Kell, Lutheran, Duffy, Kidd, Dombrock or Scianna blood group systems. No genetic linkage was established between 3Fr, the locus governing production of Fr a , and any of 21 other markers.
