A member asked:
What's the probability of me being a match for donating bone marrow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Chances of you being a match are low but real. So be prepared to keep your commitment in case you receive a call to be the real donor because they have someone whose hla typing matches yours...The chances are less than one in a thousand unless you are blood related with the donor.
