The Rh Factor: Its Role in Human Disease, with Particular Reference to Mental Deficiency^*

Winson Green Hospital, Birmingham

^* Adapted from a Thesis for the M.D. Degree, accepted by the University of Edinburgh.

ABSTRACT

The literature on the Rh factor and its relationship to human disease, physical and mental, has been reviewed.

My own investigation into the incidence of Rh incompatibility in 427 cases of mental deficiency has been described.

The conclusion has been drawn that Rh incompatibility, per se, is not a factor in the causation of mental deficiency.
