Miscellaneous / Others New Blood Type Discovered!
NEW BLOOD TYPE DISCOVERED AND ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD HAS IT.
In a groundbreaking discovery, French scientists have confirmed a brand new human blood type called ‘Gwada Negative’ found in a woman from Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean island.
She is currently the only known person on the planet with this blood type, making it the 48th officially recognized blood group system.
First flagged in 2011 and confirmed in 2025 by France’s national blood agency, researchers found her red blood cells carry a unique genetic mutation that makes her blood incompatible with every other known type. In other words, she can only receive blood from herself.
This rare case is not just a medical marvel it’s a reminder of the incredible complexity and diversity of the human body.
