    Author: van Rood JJ, Schipper RF, Bakker JN, van der Zanden HG, Oudshoorn M.
    Journal: Bone Marrow Transplant; 1998 Jul; 22 Suppl 1():S19-21. PubMed ID: 9715877.
    Abstract:
    Stem cell transplantation using cord blood donors mismatched for one or two HLA antigens can be successful. A simulation study was performed to assess the percentage of patients for whom a matched and/or a one or two antigen mismatched donor is available. Using either bone marrow donors worldwide (BMDW) (n = 925109) or the cord blood donor file in BMDW (n = 11049). As a donor source, for 97% of the Dutch patients a 0 or 1 antigen mismatched cord blood donor was available, for patients from the minority groups this percentage was 55%. These percentages compare favourably with the fraction of 0 mismatched donors found in BMDW.
