Patient's question:
I am blood type B. My husband is blood type O. Will we get hemolytic disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, blood type is determined by the combination of three genetic factors: A, B, and O. In most cases, it is possible to predict the blood type of a newborn baby based on the blood types of the parents. The inheritance pattern of blood types is as follows:A + A → A, O
A + B → A, B, O, AB
A + O → A, O
A + AB → A, B, AB
B + B → B, O
B + O → B, O
B + AB → B, A, AB
O + O → O
O + AB → A, B
AB + AB → A, B, AB
