Extended Family Donor Search

  • For Patients
  • For Industry
  • For Relatives

The Extended Family Donor Search (EFDS) by Marrow Mates enhances donor recruitment for blood cancer patients, especially those of diverse ethnic backgrounds. By utilizing genetic genealogy sites like 23&Me, Ancestry.com, and MyHeritage, the initiative identifies unknown genetic relatives for patients, expanding the pool of potential donors. This approach addresses challenges faced by traditional donor recruitment methods, offering a more targeted, digitally executed, and globally reaching process to find genetic matches for patients in need of marrow transplants.

Make a life-changing impact today by joining the registry! Your unique genetic makeup could be the cure someone with blood cancer needs. By becoming a donor, you're not only giving hope to patients in desperate need of a match, but also broadening the horizons for those with limited donor options due to their ethnic backgrounds. The process is simple, but the difference you could make is monumental.
