Our partnerships with international and cooperative registries provide doctors with access to more than 41 million potential donors and nearly 811,000 cord blood units worldwide.
The Be The Match Registry® is a listing of potential donors and cord blood units and their HLA types. When people join the Be The Match Registry, they provide a sample of their DNA by swabbing their cheek. This cheek swab is tested for a minimum of 6 basic HLA markers.
All travel expenses are covered by Be The Match. All medical expenses related to your donation are also covered.
Donors never pay for donating, and are never paid to donate. All medical costs for the donation procedure are covered by the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP), which operates the Be The Match Registry®, or by the patient's medical insurance, as are travel expenses and other non-medical costs.
22 million individuals
The Be The Match Registry is the world's largest hematopoietic cell registry, listing more than 22 million individuals and more than 300,000 cord blood units.
If you ARE identified as the best match for the patient, you will participate in an information session where you will learn everything you need to know about the donation process. You may be asked to donate in a few weeks or to wait until the patient is ready.
between 29% and 79%
70% of people don't have a fully matched donor in their family. If you don't have a match in your family, your doctor will search the Be The Match Registry to find a matched unrelated donor or cord blood unit. Depending on your ethnic background, the chance of finding a match is between 29% and 79%.
NMDP/Be The Match is entrusted and under contract to operate the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program. This program and the National Cord Blood Inventory are funded through the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) Appropriations bill.
At Be The Match® our goal is to find a cure for patients and protect the safety of both patients and donors throughout the donation process. The process of donating bone marrow or PBSC is a medical procedure, and no procedure is risk free. However, more than 99% of donors experience a full recovery.
