I have found that it is possible for a parent with the bombay phenotype of 
blood to have a child with 0 blood type. Does this also apply to someone who is 
a chinese with the para-bombay phenotype to have a child with O blood type as 
well? Could there be other explanations to this? And is such a parent prone to 
the Rambam-Hasharom genetic syndrome characterized by mental retardation?
