AB  - The unpredictability of the expected time on the waiting list has been the main 
      barrier towards broad acceptance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching in 
      clinical routine. An algorithm for predicting the expected time on the waiting 
      list for a histocompatible graft was recently introduced. This algorithm allows 
      for the balancing waiting time against improvement in prognosis on an individual 
      basis. HLAMatchmaker is a new method for identifying HLA mismatches with minor 
      immunogenicity. This method is a valuable tool for providing patients who have a 
      rare HLA phenotype with a histocompatible graft. In summary, new methods are now 
      available that make histocompatibility in penetrating keratoplasty possible in 
      almost all cases.
