Generally we know four blood groups. The four blood groups A, B, O and AB are familiar to all. However, doctors in India have found a rare blood group. The person with this blood type is said to be the first person in India and the tenth person in the world. This is a rare blood type called EMM Negative. A person with this rare blood type has been found in Gujarat. The 65-year-old has a heart condition. The human body has four blood groups. In addition, the body has 42 types like A, B, O, AH and Duffy. In addition there are 375 antigens. It has high levels of EMM. EMM antigens develop naturally in the body. However, due to insufficient EMM, they are called EMM negative. However, only 10 people in the world have high levels of EMM. They are different from others because of their low EMM. As this is a rare blood type, these people cannot donate blood to others, or people from other blood groups cannot donate blood to them. This rare blood type has been found in a 65-year-old man in Rajkot, Gujarat. The 65-year-old had suffered a heart attack, said Sanmukh Joshi, a doctor at the Samarpan Blood Donation Center.

Dr. Joshi then informed that his blood samples were sent to the blood bank in Surat.

Rajkot: In a first, an extremely rare blood group was recently identified in a Gujarat man. It was only when a 65-year-old heart patient, a resident of Rajkot, went for a heart operation that it was revealed that he had the 'EMM negative' blood group - marking the first instance of the group being identified in India, and the 11th such instance worldwide so far. Human blood, usually falling under categories such as 'A', 'B', 'O', 'AB positive', etc, contains a red-cell component, EMM, a phenotype that is found in many 'high-frequency antigens'. The man in question, however, was surprised when he was unable to find blood matching his blood group for cardiac surgery back in 2020. With subsequent samples sent to Surat and eventually to the US, results hinted at the EMM component missing from the sample. Speaking about the incident, Dr Ripal Shah, Director of a blood bank in Ahmedabad, noted that the results initially did not match any blood type. "When this case came up, the blood of this category was not there in blood banks of Rajkot. The same was the situation in Ahmedabad. Human blood contains Red Blood Cells. When the results came, it displayed less than one level of red blood cells," she said.
