So who will match you?
You inherit half of your 6 antigens from your mother and half from your father, so you will always match 3 antigens with each of your parents. You have a 25% chance of a total match with a brother or sister, a 50-50 chance of matching 3 antigens, and a 25% chance that none of your antigens will match.

On average, even two unrelated people will have a 1-antigen match; there’s a one in 10,000 chance that all 6 antigens will match. But even if none of the antigens match, there is still a 90% success rate for a living donor transplant, and an 80% success rate for an unmatched cadaver kidney transplant.
