Bombay Blood Group: One Of The Rarest In World

Bombay Blood Group, a blood type unfamiliar to many, is considered one of the rarest in the world. Only 1 in 10,000 people on the Indian subcontinent and 1 in 4 million people worldwide have the Bombay phenotype. Being such a rare blood type, it extends some challenges to people who possess it.

I have para Bombay blood. I have been searching for over in USA for years.

I am 44 years old, male. I have been donating my blood, since 1997, the year i reached 18 years. I think i have been able to save the lives of thousands of patients, as my blood type is o negative which can be given for any patient with any blood type. And i feel huge pleasure, when thinking of that.

Do they test for the H antigen if you donate blood or is this test not carried out? Am curious how many Bombay blood groups may be internationally labelled as O positive.

Sir i have a question if someone with bombay blood group marries someone with AB blood group what will be the blood group of the children then because the childs blood would contain B or A antigen but also a bombay allele antigen
