To
join The HLA Registry you must: |
- be
between 18 and 60 years of age and in good health
|
- consent
to giving a blood sample for tissue typing and
allow entry of your genetic and biographic information
in the National Marrow Donor Program registry of
potential donors.�
|
| By
registering you make yourself available to help when
needed. If you match a patient in need we will call
you. The chance of being called upon to actually donate
is close to zero. Very few people share your exact
tissue type. Unless one of them is sick with leukemia
or another deadly blood disorder we will not call you.
Yet every person who registers as a volunteer marrow
donor increases the chance that patients will find
the life saving matches they need. With six million
registered donors available, patients enjoy a 70 percent
chance of finding donors who can save their lives. |
