Will Partners With The Same Blood Type Have Babies With Deficiency?
helo dc, I am about to begin a r/s with a girl. Basically, I am a chinese and both of us are having the same surname and same blood type. B+ . The question is, given the fact that both us are having the same surname; a POSSIBILITY that coming from a same ancestral, will it be a likelihood that our future baby will be having syndromes or disorder or abnormal? Please advice. Gary

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that when people marries to the person having a same blood origin, chances of autoimmune disease and some of the mutational disease are common. Having same surname dose not mean that you are from same blood origin. But what I think you are not from the same blood origin, and you can go ahead with the marriage. Also there are not a more chance for your baby being born with the syndrome. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
