Transplantation of bone marrow is relatively successful treatment in some haematological diseases. The most suitable donor of bone marrow is a HLA genotypic identical sibling; however, roughly only 30% of patients have a suitable related donor. In order to find a HLA identical non-related donor for a maximum number of patients it is necessary to create as extensive registers as possible of potential bone marrow donors. The authors mention the possibility to obtain these donors from the ranks of regular blood donors and they mention the advantages of obtaining a register from this group of subjects.
