title: The Anthony Nolan Research Centre.
abstract: The Anthony Nolan Research Centre maintains a register of potential bone marrow donors, recruited from throughout the United Kingdom. The panel was started in 1974 as an attempt to identify an unrelated bone marrow donor for a child, Anthony Nolan, who was born with Wiskott Aldrich syndrome. The child died in 1979 without a matching donor being found, but the recruitment of donors has continued over an 18 year period, until today the Register stands at 190,000 volunteers.
