Want this question answered?
it is a part of blood group. 95% people are Rh +ve, only 5% people are Rh negative.
15% of people in the world are rh negative...i happen to be one of that 15%
No. The Rh negative allele is found in all kinds of people with all kinds of ancestry.
There isn't a specific ethnicity that has Rh negative blood type, as all types of people can have it. Rh negative mothers may develop antibodies to Rh positive babies, which may cause health problems.
yes
RH negative
Rh blood type is determined by the presence or absence of the D antigen. People who are Rh positive have the D antigen and those that are Rh negative lack this. Some people have a variant of the D antigen, called Du. Presence of Du antigen causes lab results to report the blood type as Rh negative, although the patient behaves as an Rh positive would. Du negative means a "true Rh negative" result.
AB negative is a RH negative blood type.
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
I have not been able to find anything on children however I have run down something on a case where a woman that is Rh negative has a problem with RA. Go to the related link(Rh-negative mothers are being pressured) below.
Yes. The mother would have to have a heterozygous Rh genotype, so that she could pass on an Rh negative allele to her offspring.
