title: Rh--plasma iron binding capacity association. New evidence.
abstract: The relationship between Rh phenotypes and the total iron binding capacity (TIBC) of plasma was studied in a sample from Medellín, Colombia. In a previous report from Santiago, Chile, children carrying the C Rh specificity had a higher level of TIBC than those having the specificity. The same association was found in young people from Medellín.
