In 2011, the Journal of Forensic Science published a report about a chimeric boy. The study concluded that the woman was a chimera with a fusion of AO genotype half and BO genotype half. The researcher carried out a gene search the found A, B, and O alleles. In science, an AB child can only generate for A and B parents, and for a Parent with O blood group, it is impossible to give an AB child. In 2005, Transfusion journal published the case of a healthy woman, her blood group is AB, while her father is O group.

This test was used by IAAF from 1950 to 1992, to be replaced with testosterone levels test.Īfter her death, a medical report confirmed that Dillema was an intersex woman with an ovotesticular disorder of sex development (she has an ovary fused to testes inside her groin).
