In Europeans, the occurrence is even rarer, at one in 1,000,000, or one ten thousandth of a percent (0.001%). Individuals with BBT do not have a ‘H’ antigen, and cannot make the ‘A’ and ‘B’ antigen. They can only accept similar blood, meaning those of the ABO serotype cannot donate their blood to them.

World population: 7.8 Billion
Population of India: 1.352 Billion; Bombay blood: 135,200
World population without India: 6.448 Billion; WPWI Bombay Blood: 6,448

This is only an estimate as African and Asian averages are not available.
