• I have a positive blood type and my husband has a negative blood type. What are the chances of our child being born with thalassemia?

I am a 32 year old woman and I am thinking of planning a family now with my husband. However, my blood group is A+ve while my husband’s blood group is O-ve. What are the chances of our child being born with thalassemia? Is there a possibility on reducing the risks?

Blood types do not tell one if they have thalassemia.
