🩸🌍 World’s Rarest Blood Type Discovered: Gwada Negative
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists in France have identified a brand-new blood group—Gwada Negative—making it the 48th officially recognized blood group system worldwide.
🧬 First found in a woman from Guadeloupe during routine surgery prep, her blood carried a mysterious antibody. After years of research and DNA analysis, scientists confirmed a unique genetic mutation passed down from both parents.
📌 She remains the only known person in the world with this blood type—meaning she’s only compatible with herself.
🌐 Named "Gwada" after her Caribbean roots, this discovery could help improve care for rare blood type patients globally.
🩸 One in the world. One in a lifetime. Meet: Gwada Negative.
