The New Blood Group 'INRA'













Usually there are 4 or 5 blood groups to be known namely A,B,O,AB and rarely Bombay or HH blood group. The Bombay blood group are named after its discovery in the city Bombay (now called Mumbai city)discover by the Dr. Y.M. Bhende in 1952  and this is the first time India become a parent of the new and rarest type of blood group.

It is obvious,Bomby blood group is the first blood group found in India but not the least "because discovery never stops" This saying fix here perfectly,A person with new & rare blood group is found in Lok Samparn Raktdan laboratory, Surat, Gujarat. The person’s blood group doesn’t match with any other A, B, O, AB and also Bombay Blood Group or also called as HH Blood Group. The new blood group is named as INRA; the first 2 letters represent India (IN) & the next two name of the person (RA).

INRA blood group is identified for the first time when the person visited for donating blood in Blood Camp. The blood sample was previously tested in the local labs and when they identified the blood group very different from the existing Blood groups, they sent it to WHO(World Health Organization) for further testing. WHO has also confirmed the new rare blood group was found first time in India.

In medical terms, people with this rare blood groups are called as “Coltal”. The person with INRA Blood group can’t donate and can’t receive blood from people with any other blood groups. And there are only 7 people in the world whose blood samples are not matching with any other blood group. Doctors are conducting blood test on donors relative to know its origin.


Because the research still going on the answer of certain fact is not exposed yet such as biological importance and uniqueness of the INRA. whenever I got the information this post will be updated.

A Blood Test That Detects Early Alzheimer’s disease

A research team, led by Dr. Robert Nagele from Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine and Durin Technologies, Inc., has announced the development of a blood test that leverages the body’s immune response system to detect an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease – referred to as the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage – with unparalleled accuracy. In a “proof of concept” study involving 236 subjects, the test demonstrated an overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity rate of 100 percent in identifying subjects whose MCI was actually caused by an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease. “About 60 percent of all MCI patients have MCI caused by an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease. The remaining 40 percent of cases are caused by other factors, including vascular issues, drug side-effects and depression. To provide proper care, physicians need to know which cases of MCI are due to early Alzheimer’s and which are not,” ...
