Albinism is inherited and blood types are also inherited.This means that the DNA of your husband and children will contain the genetic code for the albinism as well as to similar but not exactly the same blood group.Transmission and expression of albinism is guided by a different mechnism of dominance ,penetrance in genetics while that of blood group is also guided by recombination mechanism since we have 4 different blood groups that can emerge from both the mother and fathers blood groups genetic code.
