In reply to tb420.

I stand on what I said: Japan has a higher concentration of type A blood than any Asian country it also has a population of around 105 to 110 million people where as the UK which does not include the Republic of Ireland only Northern Ireland has about 69 million people with 44 % type O blood and 42 % type A blood 10 % type B blood and 4% type AB a hybrid of types A and B. So if we were to add the folks in the UK that are type AB with type A then you actually get 46 % of the UK population that as type A blood in their veins and they out number type O by 2% and you can do this because all you need is one allele of type A to be A blood type if the other allele is O so another words an AB blooded person has one A gene and i have one A gene because my mother is o+ and over half of all A or B type blooded people carry type o recessively so if I can call myself type A blood than my father can call himself half type A blood and half type B blood see. So 40% of the Japanese people are type A blood but ten percent of the Japanese are type AB blood so let's add them both together and see what we get? 50% of Japan an ASIAN COUNTRY that has a higher type A blood population than even the UK has. That is an ANOMALY for an Asian country!
