Donors of the Bone Marrow
Bone marrow donors can be classified into two categories. The patient themself can donate bone marrow. Healthy stem cells can be extracted from the patient's body and put into the damaged area of the bone marrow. Other types of donors include the patient's family. Siblings and parents can give bone marrow to the patient. Genetic testing is performed on healthy bone marrow prior to collection of the stem cells. To donate stem cells, donors must be a genetic match with the patient.
