Abstract :

 The MNS antigen system is a human blood group system based upon two genes; glycophorin A and glycophorin B, located on chromosome number 4. There are currently 46 antigens in the system (1,2) , but the five most important antigens are M,N,S,s and U. Most anti–N antibodies are naturally occurring IgM antibodies, and not active above 25?C and are not clinically significant. Anti–N reacting at room temperature can be a cause for ABO blood group discrepancy. IgG anti–N antibodies have also been described. Immune anti– N antibodies resulting from multiple transfusions do occur. We have reported a case presented with polytrauma who required blood transfusion. Blood group discrepancy was observed and further work up suggested the presence of anti–N antibodies.
