This article reviews information on the clinical significance of antibodies to antigens in the Raph, John Milton Hagen, I, Globoside, Gill, Rh-associated glycoprotein, FORS, JR, LAN, Vel, CD59, and Augustine blood group systems.

For many of these antibodies, the clinical significance—that is, the potential to cause reduced survival of transfused antigen-positive red blood cells or a transfusion reaction (e.g., anti-P, anti-Jra, and anti-Lan), and/or hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (e.g., anti-RHAG4 and anti-Vel)—has been documented. For other antibodies, their prevalence is so rare that information on the clinical significance of their antibodies is not available (e.g., anti-FORS1). Immunohematology 2018;34:85–90.
