Autologous BMTs are commonly used to treat solid tumors or lymphomas. Syngeneic bone marrow transplants are performed from one identical twin to the other. Return to top 3. For a patient to see if any of these potential donors have the same HLA typing, a preliminary search needs to be performed. Additions, deletions, and enhanced typing of these donors is constant and searches can be repeated as often as desired to obtain updated reports.
All preliminary searches are free of charge.
Currently, NMDP's computer lists nearly 3 million volunteer donors. A search of the NMDP Registry automatically accesses NMDP donors registered in the U.S., as well as donors registered in Israel, the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany. The NMDP also has cooperative agreements which allow access to the national registries of Canada, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Taiwan, Austria, Japan and Australia. Additional international agreements are currently being negotiated to further expand the NMDP network. This computer listing of donor tissue types is compiled by Europdonor, in Leiden, The Netherlands, and contains donor typing from 45 registries in 37 countries.
