“My Dad is AA and my Mom is AA but I’m AS” — X user seeks explanation over genotype confusion
An X user has sparked conversation online after sharing confusion about their genotype.
In the post, the user wrote: “My Dad is AA and my Mom is also AA but I’m AS. Can someone make this make sense to me, please.”
The question quickly drew reactions from other users who tried to explain how genotype inheritance works.
Many pointed out that if both parents are truly AA, a child would typically also be AA, since both parents can only pass the “A” gene.
Some users suggested that the situation could be due to an earlier testing error or that one of the parents might not have been accurately tested.
Others advised the user to consider repeating the genotype test in a reliable laboratory to confirm the result.

Nigerian man jailed 78 months in US over $5m COVID relief fra¥d and romance sc+m
A 34-year-old Nigerian man, Adepoju Babtunde Salako, has been sentenced to 78 months in prison in the United States after pleading guilty to wire fra¥d conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.
The sentencing was announced on March 4, 2026, by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.
As part of his plea agreement, Salako, who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, also agreed to plead guilty to seven additional counts of wire fra¥d in Alaska. He was further ordered to pay $2,581,002.50 in restitution to victims.
According to court documents, Salako was part of a criminal network that stole more than $5 million in funds from U.S. COVID-19 relief programs in 2021. The schemes targeted the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, and over 30 state unemployment benefit systems.
Investigators said Salako and two accomplices used stolen identities to fra¥dulently obtain PPP loans and unemployment benefits while submitting fake applications for EIDL loans.
In another scheme, co-conspirators, mostly based in Nigeria, used stolen identities and manipulated romance sc+m victims to obtain government funds.
Authorities said Salako acted as the key contact in the United States, receiving money from victims and government agencies before laundering the proceeds to China and Nigeria. He reportedly took about 25 percent as his commission.
U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly said Salako and his associates exploited innocent people and defra¥ded American taxpayers of millions of dollars.
Officials from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation also described him as the U.S.-based operative for an international criminal network.
