Rh Terminology that is Alphanumeric.

• Fisher-Race

• Rosenfield

• Weiner

• ISBT

• Defined the five common Rh antigens and postulated that the antigens of the system were produced by three closely linked genes.

• Fisher-Race

• Weiner

• Rosenfield

• ISBT

• a combination of genes inherited

  from one parent.

• phenotype

• genotype

• haplotype

• Considered the phenotypic expression of the haplotype. Allows one to convey Rh antigens inherited on one chromosome or haplotype and easier to discuss a genotype.

• Fisher-Race

• Wiener: Rh-Hr

• ISBT

• Rosenfield

• Assigned a number to each antigen of the Rh system in order of its discovery or recognized relationship to the Rh system.

• No genetic basis, simply to demonstrate the presence or absence of the antigen on the RBC.

• Rosenfield and coworkers

• ISBT

• Fisher-Race

• Weiner
