Another unexpected cousin! (Hug). Incredible, those Vikings were all

Henriette Frans
place! I also have A-.

Celaeno
I almost got A-.

Henriette Frans
Sounds like a new mutation: "Almost A-"

Celaeno
Mwuhaha!

I have teh genes for A, 0, Rh+ and Rh-. So, unlike my A- father and brother, I got A+. It's Celtic British Viking blud, too.

Henriette Frans
A med. doctor once told me it is very unlikely if one parent is Rh- and

is Rh+, the baby will be -. Very unlikely as + is very dominant from a

point of view.

All it takes is that the parents have one gene for the recessive factor each. My father has two, and my mother has one. Out of four kids, only one of us got the recessive factor from my mother, so the rest of us came out Rh+. I could marry an A+ guy and have 0- kids if he had the recessive factors in his genes too.

Oh, and the troubles you get when a Rh- mother has more than one Rh+ baby (antibodies and sutff)? You can get teh same if a mother with 0 and lots of A/B antibodies has A or B babies.

Sad that at one time people had no clue why all the babies (but one) of a

mother and a Rh+ father died, they didn't even have a clue Rh+ and -

Celaeno
Yeah. I happened to be baby #2 and I got so sick they warned my mother not to have more children, but somehow the next two didn't get quite as sick as I did. Strange.
