How often does 2 parents with positive blood have a child with negative blood?

Theoretically :This is rare actually, and there is two possible genotypes1-Both parents are positive but with different alleles ( heterozygous )---> Rh+Rh- vs Rh+Rh-here there is 25% of kids may have Rh-Rh-2-Both parents are positive with same alleles ( homozygous )---> Rh+Rh+ vs Rh+Rh+here there is Zero% of kids to be negative, because all will be positive.Medical Answers need confirmation and re-confirmation.


Is there any problems of having kids when couples have same Rh factor?

That is always possible if both the parents are heterozygous for Rh antigen gene. It means that both the parents. There are 2 different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and Rh-.Someone who is "Rh positive" or "Rh+" has at least one Rh+ allele, but could have two. Their genotype could be either Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh-. Someone who Rh- has a genotype of Rh-/Rh-. If their genotypes are Rh+/Rh-, then their is possibility of of Rh- also.Rh factorPossible genotypesRh+Rh+/Rh+Rh+/Rh-Rh-Rh-/Rh-Prof. A.L.
