Blood types can be used to determine parenthood due to blood types being one of the many things the child inherits from them. However this method isn't reliable for determining parenthood due to how common blood types are.

∙ 10y agoYou can make a preliminary screen by comparing the baby's blood type to his parents' blood types.
HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.
There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.
Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.
The definitive screen for parental contribution lies with the definite test commonly called a DNA fingerprint. This will prove paternity to the 99.99% level.
