Brief Answer: This depends on parents blood group Detailed Answer: Hi.Thanks for writing on XXXXXXX This depends on the blood group of the parents.Depending on this there are two possibilities- If both the parents are having AB+ then child's siblings will have AB+. If one parent is A+ and other is B+ then child's siblings can be A+,B+,AB+ or O+ve. Hope this answer's your query.
