History

Vos originally described Rh-deficiency syndrome in 1961, when a sample of blood failed to respond with several Rh antisera. However, R. Ceppellini used the term "Rhnull" for the first time. So far, at least 43 people from 14 families have been reported in the literature as having the Rhnull phenotype.[2]
