An associate had a marrow transplant from his brother and something similar occurred.
That’s pretty unexpected.
Unintended consequences. Could it turn him into a soy boy?
This affects using DNA analysis for rape cases.
Long could rape a woman and the semen would incriminate the donor.
My husband died from AML. He also had a bone marrow transplant. I often wondered if that could change his blood type or DNA. This could make a very interesting plot for a mystery movie
Can a white person accept a bone marrow donation from a black person? What would the results of that be?
And what about kids who are vaccinated with cells from aborted babies? Would a mix of DNA be an issue for the vaccinated kids?
Actually makes sense. Since blood will be going to every living cell in the body, any sample taken from living tissue would contain the donor DNA.
The only way to avoid that result would be to take samples “cell by cell” such that no blood cells are in it.
We’re simply not capable of doing that.
Aliens can though.
Wrong? Doesn’t the bone marrow donor’s DNA have to “exactly” match the recipients? Well, the closer the better to avoid rejection. Wonder if the donor and the recipient are related?
I’ve read that if you have a blood transfusion and take a DNA test within 30 days, your DNA will be a combination of yours and the donors. After 30 days the donor’s DNA will not show up.
My brother had a liver transplant 3 years ago. He asked his doctors about any possible DNA change. The doctor looked kind of puzzled and said, I really don’t know.
I read an article years ago about a patient who received an organ transplant. The patient also had some of the donor’s stem cells injected into his bone marrow. The result was that the patient had no rejection of the new organ.
There’s a “filled the wrong bone” joke in there somewhere.
*ping*
PING
you mean he no longer has a bone of his own?
Sheeesh.
This is very interesting, for a number of reasons.
a friend;s daugher had a bone marrow transplant.
Her blood type changed to the donor’s blood type.
That is causing some health problems.
Frankly I thought a bone marrow match would have included a need for exact blood type.
