The match programs can be accessed on-line. In addition to the regular matchprogram we have added mismatch programs, a cord blood match program and the possibility to submit a search advice request. We have also added a haplotype frequency analysis on phenotype data submitted by the participating registries. Of course only BMT-professionals who have received authorization and participating registries can access these services. See the section Participation and authorization for details.
Security is of the utmost importance.
A username and password are required, and a secure protocol has been implemented to encrypt all transmitted data. At present the BMDW database is updated monthly. BMDW can only present phenotypes of donors and cord blood units that have been submitted by the participating registries. The phenotypes they can be downloaded. The data is only available to registries and authorized centres.
