Friends ,
I just received my son's HLA reports few days back and my wife and me turnout to be only a 5/10 match for him. So our being a donor is ruled out unless we opt for Haploidentical approach of the mother being the donor.
I read on one of the forums about Andy sharing the bethematch link where I could lookup myself to see for any donors. The search results from bethematch are as below.
Since I have very little knowledge on this I am not sure how do I interpret these results and if these results show any positive signs for finding a donor. Can anyone please help me understand these results. I have approached my doc with the HLA reports but they have been very slow in responding since last few days.
