Title: invitro with hla matching
Post by: ama on October 29, 2013, 05:51:02 PM

Did anyone get invitro done with hla matching?  We are thinking about getting this done for our 3 year old son.  However, I don't know which centers in usa are well known for doing hla matching.  Also did anyone get transplant done from dr. krishnamurthy?

Hi Ama ,
Where are you based? There are many centers now that offer ivf +pgd + hla around the world. US is one of the more expensive options. If you are in the US someone at our hospital used RGI in Chicago.

Dr Krishnamurti has an excellent reputation. At the very least, it is worth talking to him regarding the low intensity chemo regiment used in BMT.
