      Probably not coincidental that this is easier to achieve with Nordic bone marrow donors:

      > The CCR5delta32 mutation protects against most variants of HIV. It is most commonly found among people in Northern Europe.

      > The Oslo patient received a bone marrow transplant from his twin brother, who happened to carry this mutation.
