Bone Marrow donor -- whose DNA?
Question:
This question has been bugging me. I have donated bone marrow to someone (unrelated). Perhaps I have been watching too much CSI, but I was curious, since this individual has my marrow, if youwere to test a blood sample of his, would it be my DNA?
Answers:
Yes. But it would be mixed up with his own. So if this person did do something that required forensic evidence of DNA to be taken there is a possibility of your DNA showing up alongside of theirs. And there actually was a real case where this occurred.
That is a great question. Now you have me wondering too!!
