Unique Blood Type Discovered in Guadeloupe Woman, the Rarest on Earth

Scientists discovered a new, unique blood type called 'Gwada negative' in a woman from Guadeloupe, which is genetically distinct and may help improve care for patients with rare blood types. The discovery was made using advanced gene sequencing, revealing a mutation in the PIGZ gene that makes her compatible only with herself. Researchers aim to find more individuals with this blood type, especially among local blood donors.
