Why registry members matter

Family matches are uncommon

70% of patients don't have a fully matched donor in their family—and depend on us to find one.

Ethnicity impacts the odds of finding a cure

Finding a match is based on a type of tissue, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue. And because it's inherited, you’re most likely to match with a patient who shares your ethnic background.

We're on a mission to make the registry more diverse to create more second chances for everyone. See how the odds of finding a match change based on a patient's ethnic background.
