    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Immunology
    • Anthropology

    Background:

    • The Fy blood group system is crucial in transfusion medicine and anthropological studies.
    • Rare blood group phenotypes can provide insights into population genetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the discovery of a family with a rare Fy(a-b-) phenotype.
    • To evaluate the application of the Fy allele in paternity testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Phenotypic analysis of red blood cell antigens.
    • Genetic analysis of the Fy gene locus.
    • Paternity testing using genetic markers.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of a five-member family of gypsy origin exhibiting the Fy(a-b-) phenotype in Czechoslovakia.
