Глобальные и национальные регистры доноров костного мозга: опыт использования, основные трудности и перспективы

Abstract

The paper provides the summary of foreign literature data on the organizational and methodological aspects of functioning of the bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cell donor registries, the issues of HLA typing, the technical algorithms for compatibility degree ranking. The changes in the citizens’ motivations in response to the bone marrow donating program popularization are described, along with the features of arranging recruitment, approaches to determining the requirements for the registry population considering the multinationality and heterogeneity of ethnic composition, and the statistical approximation algorithms. Furthermore, attention is paid to the so-called specific aspects of the functioning of bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cell registries and biobanks. The latter is important in terms of ensuring national security, adaptation of the population to the effects of the disasters, emergencies, and terrorist attacks associated with the development of bone marrow syndrome in a large number of victims.
