Today, I found out my blood type is B. My parents are type A and type O. It's not genetically possible to be blood type B if your parents are A and O. This means I am either an adoptee, a mutant, or an illegitimate child. FML

this isnt true because my mom is ab+ and my dad is o+ and im ab+ but because my dad is a carrier for the gene so it is possible that you have a completely different blood type than your biological parents if they are carriers for another

My mother is A+ and my father is O+.. I'm O-,my father is paternity tested my real father. so how does that work? all these comments of genetics is great. my sister and I share the same mother and father, and she's AB+. it's all been blood and paternity tested!! I have had 2 miscarriages then had a daughter and had another miscarriage, my husband is O+, and even with rhogam shots in my blood, my body still kills off babies. I think genetics have not yet been mastered. there doesn't have to be an explanation for everything. sometimes things should just be left the way they are !

That's not true my husbands blood type is b and mine is a and our daughters blood type is o. It happens.

Ahem #388. The reason why your daughter has O is because O is denoted as ii (the genotype, ii simply means she has the 'O' gene twice). This is means that you have ai (one gene for a, one for i, acutally it is symbolized a bit differently but whatever), and your husband has bi. Because both a and b are dominant over i you have a and your husband has b. However, since your daughter apparently inherited 'i' twice she will have bloodtype O. However, the case is clearly different with the person who wrote the fml, and that person is right. That person has to be adopted or an illegitimate child (a mutation is a lot less probable). Oh one more thing, before people pull out the 'you don't know what you're talking about...' I'm in medschool.

Yes, a mutation is less likely, but that doesn't mean the OP *has* to be adopted or illegitimate - that would only be the case if the probability of mutation was 0. Another possibility, as others before me have noted, is that the blood typing was inaccurate. Also, as a large number of commenters before you have noted, OP's mother could have the Bombay phenotype (check Wikipedia) and the father could be heterozygous type A. Next time you dish out potentially life-changing and family-shattering advice as an expert medical student, do your research - even if it's just reading the thread above what you're posting.
