NoPush 0 #1 July 22, 2003 Were would I find a record of my blood type? I spent the better part of two months in the hospital following a skydiving accident, had multiple surgeries, and I don’t know how much blood work done (no infusions though) …….yet they can’t find my blood type in my book thick chart. Aside from getting it checked….does anyone know were a record would be? i.e Lab, Infusion center, Hospital, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #2 July 22, 2003 im sure if you donated they could tell you after they checked it out! but then again if you odnt kno wyour type they may not want your blood if fear of iother things! Im sure you can go give a smaple at any hosp to find out if they really dont have any recordMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbarnhouse 0 #8 July 22, 2003 Not to be trite, but generally your Mother will know, and for the most part yours may very well be the same type as hers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoPush 0 #9 July 23, 2003 Great suggestion………..but she had no idea…..then chewed me out for still skydiving. One comment she made hit a little close: “how could you put me through that again??” Moms know just how to tug at the heart….......but so does jumping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #13 July 23, 2003 Sort of. My dad is the rarest: O negative. My mom is A I think. i am O positive. Off topic, but still genetics related is eye color. I always had the ass that I was the only person on both sides of my family, other than my brown eyed mother, who did not have blue eyes. I started out as true brown, but am now very green/hazel. Odd how that worked out. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flygator 0 #14 July 23, 2003 If you go donate some blood they will check your blood type for you at no charge.

Steph2 0 #17 July 23, 2003 QuoteMy dad is the rarest: O negative. My mom is A I think. i am O positive.Quote Me too! Guess that makes your Mum rhesus +ve then, since that's the dominant gene. She could be either A or B (heterozygous with O) and still make you O+ve (but not AB or a homozygote). Don't know about the States, but over here (UK) O+ve is the most common blood type - handy! QuoteOff topic, but still genetics related is eye color. I always had the ass that I was the only person on both sides of my family, other than my brown eyed mother, who did not have blue eyes. I started out as true brown, but am now very green/hazel. Odd how that worked out.Quote Well, brown eye colour is dominant to blue, so with a brown eyed parent it's not surprising that you have brown eyes. Technically green eyes are just a different shade of blue, so you're probably expressing some of your heterozygous blue eye colour genes. Eye colour isn't my speciality, but I think it follows the basic rules of Mendelian genetics - and does explain your phenotype. Interesting stuff genetics...

David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Steph2 0 #19 July 23, 2003 It varies... Here in the UK O +ve is the most common blood type, but in Asia it's B and in America I think that it's A. O should be the least common as the gene involved is recessive (gets "overwritten" by the other copy of the same gene). However because people who were O had better immunity against the bubonic plague the gene thrived in the UK population - natural selection in action! Like I said, interesting stuff genetics (well, I think so anyway!). Steph -x- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kiltboy 0 #20 July 23, 2003 No kidding, I never knew that the common group changed by region. Just a thought but (you seem to know a bit about this so I'll ask anyway) does that mean that the recessive gene will get overwritten with time so that Opos is no longer the dominant group? I'm thinking of all the Australians/ New Zealand emmigrants from the UK and is Opos the most common group there? Just curious as I'm thinking of the research groups that are trying to trace Viking ancestory through genetic codes/DNA to places in the UK (Shetland Islands and various towns in Scotland) and how much that will change over time.
