15 year old Demi-Lee Brennan was 9 years when due to some virus, her liver was destroyed. She had only 48 hours left to live. Miraculously, came along a 12 year old boy’s donated liver. In a 10 hour long operation along with the heavy doses of Immuno-suppressant drugs, she got that liver. Everything was business as usual.<\/p>\n
9 months later she had to be readmitted as her conditioned had deteriorated. That is when the doctors found her blood group was O+. Well, it had been recorded as O- earlier! O+ was the blood group of the donor 12 yr kid! Her parents were both O-, so she could not have been O+!<\/p>\n
The Rh (+\/-) factor is inherited separately from the ABO blood types. Similarly to the masking effect of the O gene in ABO blood types, the Rh negative (Rh-) gene is also masked by the presence of a Rh positive (Rh+) genotype. Therefore, a person may have a Rh + blood type and can still have an Rh – gene (See the accompanying chart). Furthermore, 2 parents with Rh + blood types can have a child with Rh – blood type. <\/p>\n
