Kristi's HLA typing was done using "molecular methods", meaning the typing considered the geneteic profile rather than a coarser anti-body reaction test. HLA classes A,B, and DRB1 have 250, 500, and 300 allels respectively. That's 37 Million possible combinations, the bone marrow registery has around 6 Million doners registered.

Hi Kristi. Let me know if you'd like me to come do some guided meditation, gentle yoga, or visualization (not the kind of visualization you're used to!) with you. I've been sending good energy your way, can you feel it? :) xoxo.
