Why is the child O positive if the father is B positive and the mother is AB positive?

Patient's question:

Hello, why is the child O blood type if the father is B and the mother is AB? Is there any good method for treatment? Please give advice to the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It's a pleasure to assist you. In the situation you mentioned, your father is type B, and your mother is type AB. According to Mendelian genetics, the blood type of the child can be A, B, or AB. It is generally unlikely for the child to have type O blood. I suggest that both parents get their blood types retested, as there might have been a mistake. You can visit the hospital for further examination to confirm whether there was an error.
