The second example of anti‐Be a which caused hemolytic disease of the newborn is reported. Confirmation was made by using the cells and serum of the original Berrens family. The antibody was stimulated by pregnancy only. Three of four children are Be(a+) and two had hemolytic disease of the newborn. No genetic relationship of Be a with any other blood group system has been revealed.
