I have read recently that because of the complexity of genetics, Jews, who as a people have inbred for centuries are unlikely to find a bone marrow donor match outside of the jewish community. i would like to be tested to join a registry for jewish bone marrow but the only one i could find, ezer mitzion is based in israel . does anyone know of a jewish bone marrow registry in the USA and specifically in NYC?
