Identification of an HLA identical donor/recipient pair using high-resolution techniques at HLA A, B, C and DRB1 optimizes survival after adult unrelated hematopoetic stem cell transplant. It has been estimated that roughly 50% of African-Americans have suitable unrelated donors based on serologic typing, but there is little information on the likelihood of identifying an HLA-identical unrelated donor using molecular techniques. From 2/2002 to 5/2007, we performed 51 unrelated donor searches for African-American patients using the National Marrow Donor Program® and found HLA identical unrelated donors for only three. By contrast, 50 (98%) had at least one and often multiple appropriately matched cord blood units available. Very few African-American recipients have HLA-identical unrelated donors. In order to allow more African-American patients to proceed to transplant, innovative donor strategies, including adult cord blood transplantation, haplo-identical transplant or the identification of permissive mismatches should be investigated.
