Donors of the Bone Marrow
There are two types of donors of the bone marrow. The patient themselves can be a donor of the bone marrow. As the healthy stem cells can be collected from the patient’s body and be transplanted into the damaged region of the bone marrow. Another type of donor is the family of the patient. Siblings or parents can donate their bone marrow to the patient. For this type of transplant, genetic testing is done prior to the collection of healthy bone marrow. The donors need to be a genetic match with the patient to be able to donate their stem cells.
