"The more information there is in the database," says Shaw, "the more chance there is of finding a match." With a database of 10,000 people, there is a 15 % chance of finding someone with matching HLA. With 100,000 people the chance rises to 45 %, and with one million people it reaches 70 %.
「資料庫的資料越多，機會自然就越大」，蕭正光指出，資料庫有一萬人時，找到一個 HLA 吻合的機率約百分之十五；累積到十萬人時，機率增加到百分之四十五；如果資料庫有一百萬人，機率將提高到百分之七十。
