Kolar woman's rare, unique blood group named 'CRIB'
Kolar: A 38-year-old woman from Srinivaspur taluk in Kolar district has been identified as having one of the rarest and most unique blood groups in the world.
According to report published by Deccan Herald on Friday, the woman was admitted to R.L. Jalappa Narayana Heart Centre on the outskirts of Kolar for a cardiac condition last year. Prior to her surgery, Dr Murali Babu sent her blood samples for routine testing to Jalappa Hospital.
However, the hospital's blood bank specialists encountered difficulty in determining her blood type due to its rare nature. Consequently, the sample was forwarded to the TTK Blood Centre in Bengaluru for more advanced analysis. The case was then referred to the International Blood Group Reference Laboratory in England for further examination.
Blood samples from around 20 of the woman's family members were also collected and tested to assist with the research and confirmation process.
After extensive testing, it was confirmed that the woman possesses a globally rare and scientifically significant blood group. This blood group has been officially named ‘CRIB,’ derived from the Cromer (CR) system under which it falls. The name CRIB also honours its discovery in India (I), specifically Bengaluru (B), added the report.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
