title: 'BIO-ID': restricted use of HLA markers to detect double registration on computer files.
abstract: 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.
