For over 10 years allele-level HLA matching for bone marrow registries has been performed in a probabilistic context. HLA typing technologies provide ambiguous results in that they could not distinguish among all known HLA alleles equences; therefore registries have implemented matching algorithms that provide lists of donor and cord blood units ordered in terms of the likelihood of allele-level matching at specific HLA loci. With the growth of registry sizes, current match algorithm implementations are unable to provide match results in real time.
