Scientists have found a new blood group, a 50-year-old mystery has been solved, know where patients will benefit from it?

You've only heard of four blood groups   Would be. These are- A, B, AB and O. These blood groups are negative or positive   It could be. Now scientists have solved a 50-year-old mystery by identifying a new blood group. Scientists have named this blood group 'MAL'. Scientists say that by identifying this blood group, patients who are deficient in this rare blood group can be identified

According to a study conducted

scientists from NHS Blood and Transplant (Bristol), the International Blood Group Reference Laboratory (IBGRL) and the University of Bristol have identified this rare blood group. The specialty of this blood group is that AnWJ antigen is absent in it. This antigen is present in 99.9 percent of people. Scientists believe that the deficiency of this antigen may be due to a certain change in the gene

genetic may be antigen deficient

Scientists say that some people may lack the AnWj antigen due to the disease. However, its inherited absence is very rare. Only a few individuals have been identified worldwide who have been diagnosed with birth   AnWj is not an antigen. According to scientists, this discovery will make it easier to identify people with this condition. The genetic deficiency of this antigen is so rare that only one such family of Arab-Israeli ancestry has been identified so far

1972 the antigen was discovered 

According to

indian data, in 1972, scientists found the AnWj antigen missing from a pregnant woman's blood sample. It was then that scientists thought that this could be a new blood group. However, its genetic origin is not yet known. Scientists say that 99.9 percent of people have an AnWJ antigen and it makes mal protein on red blood cells, but RBC of AnWj antigen negative people does not have this protein. Studies have shown that AnWj antigen negative individuals can have many health problems, such as many types of cancer or blood-related diseases. 

What antibiotics can treat HMPV with drugs, how effective is the drug against this virus?
