Antigens

After tissue typing our Dr explained that my husband and I have 2 common antigens, but that my son ended up with the 2 common ones, plus 4 of mine due to a cross-over. Our Dr said that she has only seen one other parent / child match (but in the US) not in Australia.
My son has had ATG in late December 2010 and was going reasonably well although his platelets starting dropping and then he ended up in hospital twice with infections during April. His levels have dropped further over the past 4 weeks.

I am 40 and have had 3 children. My son with SAA is the youngest.
Thanks for your information.
