Erythrocytes from twelve individuals with the S −s −U − phenotype and from ten with the S −s −U + phenotype were analyzed and compared to control cells with S +/s +U + determinants. No red cell abnormality was detected in S −s −U + or S −s −U − carriers. Sialic acid content was similar ( P>0.05)...
