Vel blood group
- ... that the Vel blood group was discovered when a patient's blood was found to be incompatible with all but five out of 10,000 blood donors?
Source: Storry et al, 2017; "The first report of anti-Vel was published in the French journal Revue d’Hematologie by Sussman and Miller in 1952 and concerned a patient in New York who received 2 units of crossmatch-compatible blood... Subsequent screening of 10,000 donors with the patient’s serum in New York revealed only 4 compatible units in addition to the serendipitous compatible unit."
OMIM, 2013: "Sussman and Miller (1952) first described the Vel-negative blood group phenotype in a 66-year-old woman who developed a severe acute intravascular hemolytic episode after a blood transfusion due to antibodies against a newly defined antigen named 'Vel.'"
