Abstract
Cis AB blood group is a rare variant of the AB blood group resulting from i nheritance of both A and B genes on one chromosome. It may lead to misclass ification in ABO grouping and clinical misdiagnosis as a result of its dive rgence from the laws of Landsteiner and Mendel. We encountered a case of ci s AB blood group, and we found that autotransfusion was useful during surge ry in this patient with a rare blood group.
