title: Wd(a+) red blood cells in two sisters of a Hei//om Khoisan family in Namibia.
abstract: Two sisters in a Hei//om family of the southern African Khoisan race in Namibia were found to have Wd(a+) red blood cells. Wda is a low-frequency antigen identified so far only in a European family in Canada and a family in Holland. The Wda gene may have had an independent origin in the Khoisan. Alternatively, the Hei//om population may have acquired it through miscegenation.
