Why do blood types matter? - Natalie S. Hodge 

YEs!

Completely deserved

Un doblaje al español sería muy interesante ya que ustedes desglosan muy bien la información Felicidades!!!!!!!!

No 1 asked 🤣🤣🤣

No

deet0109 That means your blood type is A positive

deet0109 congrats 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hannah Barton It's a joke

😂

Whats your overall grade?

This comment simply killed me 😂😂😂

just gonna camp for a woosh

Sad

You guys are slow he meant his type is B+

Dr. Peter D'Adamo is the expert on Blood Type Diets (A B AB & O) eg. Eat Right 4 Your Type , on how to avoid the illnesses assoc. w. any blood type / how to enhance the health of one's blood type. Look up his works / research etc. on line

Covid might actually be influenced by blood type. Read that some months ago, haven't heard any further about it though, might have been shown not to be correlated.

Any recommendations where I can read more about this? There is a theory that eventually Type A will die out.

people with sickle cell don't get malaria

@@kdphotos4691 I'm A+. Type in 'blood type' & 'Bruce Lipton'. You'll also learn some epigenetics from him.

Because O alleles are way more common.

But if they are more common if a or b allele parents get with o, o is basically non-existent cuz it's not dominate

XenoGamer The O allele doesn't disappear just because it's recessive. Plenty of people with type A and B blood still carry it, and their children may still be born with O type blood.

So kind of like blue eyes where two brown eyed babies can be born with blue eyes though uncommon.

XenoGamer Mother Nature. Since type O is accepted by all other types, more people could donate and the chances of survival are uplifted.

kolang82 that is correct if both parents do not carry an O gene. They both have to have an O for a child to be able to have O type blood.

kolang82 Remember that not only your genes are the ones that carry over to the child. Also the genes of your parents, your grandparents and so are carried. That´s why both parents with brown hair can give birth to a blonde child, and also why parents without O blood type can give birth to a O blood type child. A good example is me. I´m O- and my parents are A and B.

You didn't learn more here than in school, but you're more eager to learn here than in school. Which is understandable

@@nonridiculousadjective6597 well put !!

too bad you forget this stuff in 2 days since you do not study it but simply listen to it once for 4 minutes

True honey😉

+Fran Goodes I'm not sure you're understanding what AB actually means. AB people can have anything, O people are the ones that can only accept O.

Mine is AB- so I can only give blood to another -AB or AB, but I can accept the negative RHs xD

an AB blood type is a universal donor for plasma. You still can give

@@krissjsjsjs Yet i would not give cuz i do not want people put a need inside my blood vessel cuz i would just eventually pass out and even when I got the blood testing I passed out even tho it is just a short simple push of a needle and the blood is being placed on the microscope slide.

Isn't blood type AB can donate to all? Like theyre universal donor

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. They got it mixed up.

I was also wondering the same!!!!

👎 ⛔ no.

But what about O being a universal donor? Then the A and B will bind to, well, A and B, as opposed to being universal

@@thechair6519 type 0 is an universal donor because again, the name suggests the antigens. So with 0 type, u have zero antigens, so when u give this blood to a person, there's nothing to react TO, no matter what antibodies their plasma has (no antibodies for AB blood types, A antibodies for B blood types, B antibodies for A blood types or A&B antibodies for 0 blood type). So no matter how rich or poor the acceptor's blood is in antibodies (attacking cells), there's nothing to attack, since 0 type has 0 things to attack :)

His information is focused & specific & well worded instead of being loosely worded & mixed with countless other pieces of information.

@@curtischildress9580 the second one is infographic

B quite

Only O negative

For organ transplants the primary antigen system is the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA, also called Tissue Type) system. It has a huge number of different antigens, and is the primary system used in forensics.

is that mean your blood type is O with Rhesus negative?

Yes, that's what O- negative means. @@LakshaDeirwa

Do check out cancerPAL

Blodd type 0 is common and only special if you're 0-.

Well, yes, Type O is special in certain ways, But Type AB is special in certain ways too.

I know this is 6 years old but for new people reading: technically your dad is type AO with O being recessive. Your mom is type OO. His recessive O paired up with either of your mom’s Os and there you have it.

Get a dna test.

@@alangknowles this guy doesn't know about genetic crossovers

Yes my mom is B idk what my dad is but i think hes O too because im O

Same ;-;

Hahaha

Check it soon. It is important to know your type of blood

Idk mine either

zainab Just tell the doctor to give you o-so u stay safe as o- is universal

Yeah, which happened in my case lol.

is that mean your blood type is O with Rhesus negative?

Good for you, you give blood. What is your criticism of this video, though? "Indiscript" isn't a word.

Do a search on the "Bombay blood phenotype" - a very interesting situation for the person with that type!

have that too

@@nusaindah3182 same I'm the only AB+ in my family from this generation some how, but we are lucky as any blood type can save our life and nobody else can use ours, we are special and rare

I have AB-

Same

No over time everyone will not become AB. As there is no selection pressure the numbers of A, B, AB and OO should remain constant. O is the most common blood type in the USA at 45%, followed by A at 40%, B at 11% and AB at 4%. In order to have an AB blood type you need to inherit an A and a B from both parents. So if you have AO and BO they will have a one in 4 chance of having AO, BO, AB or OO. Just because a gene is dominant, doesn't mean it will it increase in the population.

7 years later (lol) but no. O is just way too common and people that are A and B can still carry the O allele to pass on to their children. So their kids can be pure O, resetting the cycle, depending on the other parent.

Small correction O A B AB

so do you mean AO x OO cross and BO x OO cross lead to 50% O type blood and 50% A or B type? I understand punnett square, just clarifying your comment.

I am O- and just signed up to become a blood donor thanks to this comment :)

As a blood/plasma donor that makes me so happy to read =)

Even having a tattoo stops u from being able to donate blood in the uk.

O is the rarest.

Actually, a blood type more known as “golden blood” ( I think the name is RHNAM6 or something ) And only 42 people have it

@@yangkong7935 My mom have it are you sure its that rare?

No, antigens maybe different for different organisms,but its properties and functions are similar tho.They are present at the surface of cells, it's even true for every foreign entites,it might be the case when some antigens are lost from the source which makes the immune response and helps in identifying them.Even though its bit confusing , it's true

According to the NCBI (National Center For Biotechnology Information), "The functions of many of the blood group antigens are not known, and if they are missing from the red blood cell membrane, there is no ill effect. This suggests that if the blood group antigens used to have a function, e.g., one particular blood group antigen made red blood cells more resistant to invasion from a parasite, it is no longer relevant today." So, basically, it sounds like what that's saying is, whatever the reasons we have antigens on the red blood cell surface, it's from way back in time when humans were evolving and those reasons are not relevant today. Kind of like bodily hair I guess, lol.

An antigen is any molecule that can cause an immune response. It doesn't matter whether that immune response is in your own body (e.g. microbe attacking you or you attacking it), or in another body (e.g. via transfusion or transplant where the recipient might attack the foreign material) - the important point is that this 'antigen' molecule is known to be a target for an immune response. Note that there are many different molecules on the surface of a cell and each one may be the target for an attack - in which case we call them antigens. You are protected in your own body since your own immune system will (usually!) not attack yourself.

Oh, another “M” !

Rest assured, if you are getting a blood transfusion then you will know the blood type of the donor because all blood packs used for transfusions are labeled by the blood bank that the donor gave the blood to.

@@coffee-xg6my The teacher was just being facetious.

​@@oldsesalt8496 Ohhhhhh, I get it, so the teacher was just making a point about "American Indians" and type O- neg blood. Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee. Veeerrrryyyyy cleverrrrr joke!😬

@@coffee-xg6my question is where is the punchline? 😊

Adam Fish both

But why?

A gene can be highly prevalent despite being recessive, which is the case with type O.

***** unless you're O- like myself where in Canada less than 3% of the population share my blood type.

Jenna MacD The negative is your Rh factor which is determined by genes separate to your blood type. So more accurately, you have the most common ABO blood type and the rarest Rh factor.

So were you Rh- or Rh+?

@@belikova01 I did a home type test and that came back as A- too. My full bio sister is A- also. My dad and I are similar people and I look like my mum. It's unusual to get one kid with - from two + parents, and my parents somehow did it twice. My dad has two more kids with his current wife, so I might get them to do the home kits too, just to see. My partner still doesn't know his but we're assuming he is + until told otherwise.

@@MediocreMolly It's good that you cleared that up, though rest assured that the lab will always repeat testing on your blood as part of pregnancy testing. Being "negative" i.e. RhD Negative means that the lab will also pay attention to any Anti-D antibodies you might have or form (in pregnancy, this situation might give rise to Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn / HDN). HDN is very well managed these days and standard practice for RhD negative mothers is to administer prophylactic Anti-D once during pregnancy and immediately after birth to try to suppress mum from forming her own (immune) Anti-D (which might affect later pregnancies).

Both my parents are Rh positive and I'm Rh negative. My baby is the same blood type as me. I didn't get anti D/Rhogam during pregnancy. I instead got a non invasive test to determine the fetal RhD status. They kept pushing anti D on me but I didn't want to receive blood products and my baby was predicted 99% to be Rh negative. I also don't want any more children even if he was Rh positive. He wasn't, his cord was tested and we are both O neg. I'm so glad I didn't receive a blood product pooled from 100s of people for no reason.

Leonard Greenland What is it?

Leonard Greenland type B

Im an O+

Same here I am O+

Yes it is. My father was A+ and my mother is B+. My sister is AB+. But I'm O+. Hope that helps 🙂

l think you're not your father child

yeah the video is a bit misleading. As your parents actually have two copies, father could have BO and mother has AO. Which means its perfectly possible for you to get the two O's from your parents and have type O blood. And your brother would get the A and B.

@@mikesully110 That's right! Gladly, the top comment already mentioned that.

***** I'm not sure if you stopped watching early, but the video does discuss the RH factor starting at 3:17 or so

Neil Stilin I guess I stopped watching or didn`t hear all of it! via I`ve been trying to cook some chili this morning while watching YT video`s.... Thanks for letting me know I missed the last part via and I guess I`m being a ass in my comments...LOL I`m just a hard ass radical when it come to this topic BECAUSE my son now at the age of 38 just about didn`t live to see his 38 birthday or any other birthdays for that matter! because his mother rejected him when she was 6 1/2 months pregnant via due to the RH factor. He was placed in children`s mercy hospital in KCMO back in 1977 and of course for two week was deathly sick ( he couldn`t hardly breath at all he was gasping for air with every breath he took. This problem can really freaked ya out when ya don`t know exactly why it is happening! BUT.. back then I don`t think they knew as much about this topic as they do today. So anyway! I think what they finally did was give him a blood transfusion thus and he got better right away with in a few hours. We was able to take him home after the long ordeal he went threw as a premature baby spending two weeks in intensive care fighting for his life thus it was a very scary thing to watch as a young adult parent I was only 19 yrs old at the time ( he weighed just 4 lb 15 ounces when we finally got to take him home with us. : )

***** No worries, that would be pretty terrifying... I'm glad to hear he's doing better now

Neil Stilin They did not really talk about RH factors except in passing and that mothers with either - or ++ blood RH does have difficulty carrying to term or may abort early, if it is not discovered in time. There are medications to help the baby come to term. Do not know what they are called, but they help the mother's body from rejecting the opposite RH factor of their child.

actually they're many. kell, kidd, bombay etc. maybe more than 20. We study it at our immunohematology

Same!

JustANormalCatOwner it’s probably because your parents are carriers for the blood type O

There is no "blood type" ABO

@@wallnut6666 I meant AB - oops! Added the O because I was thinking of mine too.

Well it's a little more complicated. The characteristic of blood type is controlled by two alleles for each person. Two similar genes that control the characteristic in a different way. Those genes are located in two different chromosomes. When someone is A+, their alleles could be AA or AO (only A is expressed cause A>0). The same implies to B+. As a fetus you get one chromosome from each parent, due to a procedure that's called meiosis. So if your parents are AO and BO you could get the allele O from each parent. And as a result you have blood type O (00).

Hopefully that answers your question

@@iro.___2257 yes! Thank you 😊🤗. And crazy how my brother and sister both have O+ like me

There's several. One that I just recently found out about is cis-AB blood type. It's very rare around the world, It's mostly found in Korean and Japanese population but it's even rare in those populations! But I think the rarest blood type in the world is Rh null. Also called "the golden blood type" because it has absolutely no antigens so it can be given to any blood type in the world. There's only about 50 or so people that have it world wide. But the disadvantage for them is they can only receive blood from another Rh null donor. So, basically they are all 'on call' in case one of then needs blood from one another. They can be flown on special flight clear across the globe to help another Rh null person who needs a transfusion.

@@moonbeam2062 Thanks for clearing that up. Rh null, that was it. Interesting about cis-AB.

@@Coasterdude02149 Yeah, the cis-AB is interesting, Don't know of you had a chance to read anything on it. Some consider it a fourth blood type. It's a mutation where the A & B gene types are together on one single allele! So, unlike a normal AB type person who inherits one A allele and one B allele from their parents, the cis-AB person inherits one allele with both the A&B gene on it and then the other allele can be like a normal allele containing an A,B or O. In any case, the cis-AB allele will always dominate whatever the other allele is. Also, because the cis-AB person is able to have an O on it's other allele, that means that person can have an O child if that O allele combines with an O allele from the other parent,. That would be impossible to happen with a normal AB type parent because they only have an A allele and a B allele to work with from their two inherited alleles.

@@moonbeam2062 It just has no rh antigens but still AB0, Kell...

same situation, i am blood type ab, my older bro is O and our youngest sibling still unknown
