Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) distribution in donor registry data is typically nonrandom as, mostly for economical reasons, typing additional loci or resolving ambiguities is selectively performed based on the previously known HLA type. Analyzing a sample of over 1 million German stem cell donors, we practically show the extent of the bias caused by the restriction of the input data for HLA haplotype...
