Annual Report 2007
31 Irish Unrelated Bone Marrow Registry The Irish Unrelated Bone Marrow Registry (IUBMR) was established in 1989 to provide a panel of volunteer donors for Irish and International patients requiring stem cell transplantation as a curative therapy for some malignant haematological conditions such as leukaemia and for some inherited metabolic disorders. The vast majority of Irish patients who do not have a sibling donor will find suitably matched donors either on the Irish or international bone marrow/stem cell donor panels. To date the IUBMR has facilitated 217 transplants. Of the 217 transplants, 186 were for Irish patients and 31 for international patients. During the year, the registry facilitated 35 transplants on behalf of Irish (33) and International (2) patients. Registry activities In March the registry achieved accreditation by the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA). The WMDA sets international guidelines and operational standards for bone marrow registries for the collection and transfer of haemopoietic stem cells. The IUBMR was only the 8th Registry to achieve accreditation out of 60 stem cell registries worldwide. Because of the increasing success of unrelated stem cell transplantation due to highly sensitive DNA methods of tissue typing and changes in conditioning therapy, more adult patients are being considered suitable for transplantation. This led to a marked increase in the number of patient and donor samples processed by the National Histocompatibility and Inmmunogenetics Laboratory and a 250% (13 in 2006 to 33 in 2007) increase in transplants in Irish patients facilitated by the IUBMR.
