I enjoyed reading an article by carolyn pettibone on blood typing. 
Particularily on finding out that a type A and B parents can have a type O 
child, because they could carry the AO BO combination. I was wondering is there 
a test out there that would let a person of type A or B blood know if they are 
Type AA AO BB or BO? I am type A blood and am curious to know if I have AA or 
AO alleles.
