| Abstract | We analyzed regional differences in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, and -DR antigen and haplotype frequencies based on a sample of approximately 320,000 German donors in order to identify regions that are especially suited for ongoing stem cell donor recruitment. Geographic partitioning was carried out by postal code regions. Analysis of genetic distances suggests the existence of three regional clusters in South (regions 6-9), East (0-1), and Northwest (2-5) Germany. The southern cluster shows most favorable characteristics with respect to haplotypic and phenotypic diversity and the occurrence of rare HLA antigens. The opposite behavior is shown by regions 2-4 of the northwestern cluster. As a result of lower HLA diversity, completeness of a regional donor file in region 4 with 100,000 donors would be higher than that of a file in region 7 with 170,000 donors. This fact shows the relevance of regional HLA differences for practical donor registry planning. Results such as those presented in this work can be used to diminish the problem of decreasing marginal benefit of donor recruitment, as more than 13 million donors are registered worldwide today. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
