Bone marrow transplant matches are more likely to be found between people of the same ethnic ancestry.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that bone marrow transplant matches are more likely to be found between people of the same ethnic ancestry?

Partly. One registry study indicates that subethnic groups with less interethnic admixture are less likely to find donors outside their own group, while another analysis argues ethnic matching should not guide donor selection. The evidence covers only parts of the claim and does not settle match likelihood generally.
