HLA TYPING

Many people have asked about being tested to see if they would be a suitable donor for Lindsey's transplant. Human Leukocyte Antigen Typing is the process used to identify donors. HLA's are proteins or markers found on most cells in your body. First, Shelley will be tested, and then we will go from there. If you are interested in finding out information on the subject go to www.marrow.org. It is the website of the National Marrow Registry. I will be posting information regarding this in the coming weeks.
