Yes, wanting 0% blasts in peripheral blood makes sense. Blasts aren't supposed to leave the bone marrow until they are mature and are therefore no longer blasts. The study I mentioned was only about blasts in the bone marrow.
Good luck with the donor search. With 2 siblings, the odds are over 40% that one will match. If not, having a European heritage and both of his parents from the same country will help his chances for an unrelated donor match.
