The distribution of the ABO groups in Australia is about 38% A,
49% O, 10% B, and 3% AB. Distribution differs significantly around
the world, with higher levels of B in Asia and more O in Africa. Because
blood groups are inherited, some are particularly prominent in people
of specific ethnic backgrounds; for example, the O blood type
dominates in Native American and Aboriginal Australian groups.
