Human leukocyte antigen matched unrelated donor (URD) identification remains a major challenge for Indian patients due to high genetic diversity and endogamy. Utilizing a HLA high-resolution dataset of 30,027 umbilical cord blood (UCB) units, this study modeled 10/10 and 8/8 matching probabilities for five broad regions and nine sub-regional linguistic populations. Two statistical frameworks, the Formula Matching...
