Two genes (RhD and RhCE) locate on chromosome 1, and encode the Rh proteins. RhD is an immunogenic antigen. We describe a rare Rh phenotype D-- in this report. Case Report: A forty- nine- year- old man, who received two O+ packed cells once time was studied in this report. He was admitted to hospital for kidney transplantation that reiterative mismatch cross matches were seen. Serologic tests of patient showed a rare Rh phenotype D-- with frequency of one in ten thousand. Conclusion: Considering the importance of Rh in blood transfusion complications, typing erythrocyte and preparing autologous blood will reduce transfusion complications. Key words: D--Phenotype, Transfusion, Rh blood group   How to cite this article: Molahosseini Foomani F, Shams S.F, Arianpour Z. Reporting a Rare RH Phenotype D--: A Case Report.
