We have many HLA markers, half of which are inherited from the father and the other half from the mother. In case of a transplant, the doctor always wants to find the best possible donor to ensure
Proactively know the number of high-quality HLA-matched units available in our registry for your entire family!
The chance of finding a genetically matched donor may range from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. Moreover, as HLA match is ethnicity dependent, the chances for an Indian finding a match is < 10% in global public banks. Interestingly, a few HLA markers are more common than the others or are found more often in certain ethnicities. Therefore, a person’s best chance of finding a match is more likely to be with a donor of similar ethnic background.
