Abstract excerpt
A human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched unrelated donor is the primary alternative donor for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in Japan.

In this study, the probability of finding an HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 allele-matched donor was estimated using two different methods based on the haplotype frequencies...
