World’s First Rare Blood Group (CRIB Antigen) Identified in Karnataka Woman During Transfusion Prep A 38-year-old woman from Kolar, Karnataka, discovered during pre-operative workup that her blood type (O Rh+) was incompatible with all available donor units. Further testing led to the identification of a previously unknown blood group antigen, named CRIB, confirmed through the International Blood Group Reference Laboratory in the UK. This marks the first-ever global case of this antigen, with significant implications for transfusion safety and donor screening worldwide. ---
