Abstract excerpt
HLA allele matching is critical to successful bone marrow transplantation between a patient and donor. Non-functional HLA alleles, so called 'null alleles', are not well described within a large population of well HLA-typed ethnically diverse individuals despite their impact on donor selection. A retrospective analysis was performed on 833,789 unrelated donors (URDs) in the National Marrow Donor Program's Be The...
