Kate,

A lot has been learned in the last few years about which mismatches pose the most serious problems and which have relatively less significant problems and so are most like having a matched donor. Not all 5/6 donors will be mismatched in the same way so, if there are multiple possible mismatched donors they will be evaluated based on the kind of mismatch. Mismatched donors are not unusual, particularly for children and young adults who can more easily overcome any difficulties.

Regards,
Ruth
