Would blood group changes in neonate?

no. The ABO system and Rh blood group are already decided the moment sperm meets ovum. It is decided by the gene we have. For ABO classification, to put it simply people with A blood type has two A gene or one A gene plus one O gene. People with B type have two B gene or one B gene plus one O gene. People with AB type has one A gene and one B gene. O type has two O genes. A father passes one of his blood gene to his child and a mother passes one as well that the child now has two, and the combination is what decides the child's blood type. Bombay type is a very rare blood type different from A, B, or O. You can only have it if your family has a very rare gene, or in other words, if one of your family has it.

The type of cell is important because it determines how the gene will be expressed and whether the inserted gene will function properly. Different cell types have different mechanisms for processing and utilizing genetic material, so selecting the correct cell type is crucial for a successful outcome in gene therapy. Additionally, the choice of cell type can impact the distribution and longevity of gene expression in the body.
