Stem cell matches are strongly ethnicity specific because tissue types (HLA markers) are inherited and closely linked to ancestry. People are far more likely to find a life-saving match from someone who shares a similar ethnic background.

Increasing donor diversity isn’t just important; it’s critical. Every new registrant from an under-represented community significantly improves the chances that someone, somewhere, will find the match they desperately need.
