It lists a case just like yours! I didn't know that AB could be passed as A or B. But, this website shows that it can.

Your Mother has Type OO
Your Father has Type AB
You have BO, receiving an O from your mother and a B from your father. Im REALLY confused as to how you have siblings with Type OO since your father would have had to donate either an A or a B leading to children with type AO or BO. Also, type AB should be impossible as well because your mother had to donate an O into the situation. The only blood types your parents should have been able to produce are AO and BO.

O and AB parents result in children with either type A blood, or type B. You get 1 gene from each parents, so you got the B from your dad, and the 0 from your mom, making you OB+
I dont know how your siblings could be either O or AB, that's impossible. To be O they would have to get that from each parent, because to have O blood you really are OO, and your dad doesn't have an O, and to be AB you would have to get an A from one parent and a B from the other, and your mom doesn't have either. Hmm.. maybe your siblings should be concerned.

If you go to genetree.com they have a chart on blood types and paternity. Blood types aren't used that much anymore for this stuff, but it appears as though you ae their child. Some of your siblingd are iffy
DNA is the new standard

Maybe you inherit your blood type from your other relatives.. Or i guess, though I'm not feeling to say this.. your not really related to them..

Perhaps, you are a product of "Recessive Gene" - you might inherit your blood type from your grandparents, great grandparents......and so on.

Maybe you were adopted or switched at birth.
