BACKGROUND |
For ethnic minority patients where a suitably matched BM or peripheral blood donor is frequently unavailable, cord blood offers an opportunity for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Focused recruitment of ethnic minorities for cord blood donation has been proposed as the preferred strategy to improve access for m... |
METHODS |
Retrospective data analysis was performed comparing the characteristics of 556 cord blood units from African American and Caucasian donors. The outcomes of 18 African American ethnically mismatched transplant recipients were compared with a paired sample of 18 ethnically matched Caucasian recipients. |
RESULTS |
The fraction of collected units meeting acceptability criteria from African Americans was significantly lower compared with Caucasians (P = <0.0001). Additionally, African Americans had a significantly lower post-processing total nucleated cell count (TNC) compared with Caucasians (P=0.007) but there were no other sign... |
DISCUSSION |
At comparable levels of TNC dose and HLA matching, the use of ethnically mismatched UC blood units as a source for allogeneic unrelated transplant can result in successful transplant outcomes for African American patients.Inflammatory Bowel Disease Gene Hunting by Linkage Analysis: Rationale, Methodology, and Present S... |
