The 9/10 match is a good match, depending on where the mismatch is. The location of the mismatch determines how it could be more or less significant to the transplant. The primary challenge with 9/10 is that the likelihood of GVHD is a little higher, and sometimes engraftment is a little more difficult than a 10/10 match. That being stated, I believe that it is considered a better choice than a haploid 5/10 match.
