Figure 4-4. Example of a Bombay pedigree.

Person #1 and #2 are consanguineous. Their child is a Bombay and has inherited an A gene and a B gene from her parents and has transmitted them to her offspring (#7 and #8). Therefore, Bombay people can have A and B genes, even though they cannot make ABH antigens because they lack the H gene.
