N2 - BACKGROUND: ABO hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (ABO HDFN) may
manifest itself in cases of mothers belonging to blood group O and newborns of
groups A or B and more frequently in group A and less so in group B.
CASE STUDY: The case subjects are twin-birth newborns with ABO HDFN, of group AB
born to a mother of group O. These cases of ABO HDFN prove inconsistent with
Mendel's law of segregation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: This case study finds its explanation in new methods of
assisted reproduction, particularly heterologous in vitro fertilization with
ovodonation.
