'BIO-ID': restricted use of HLA markers to detect double registration on computer files.
We propose to use the extreme diversity of HLA in order to detect, by anonymous check, double registration on computer files, of patients waiting for organ transplantation. A simulation on a panel of 69461 unrelated individuals, caucasoid, confirms the relevance of the method.
