[h=1]Man who had transplant finds out months later his DNA has changed to that of donor 5,000 miles away[/h]
[FONT="]Three months after his bone marrow transplant, Chris Long of Reno, Nevada, learned that the [/FONT]DNA[FONT="] in his blood had changed. It had all been replaced by the DNA of his donor, a German man he had exchanged just a handful of messages with.
[/FONT][FONT="]But four years after his lifesaving procedure, it was not only Long’s blood that was affected. Swabs of his lips and cheeks contained his DNA – but also that of his donor. Even more surprising to Long and other colleagues at the crime lab, all of the DNA in his semen belonged to his donor. “I thought that it was pretty incredible that I can disappear and someone else can appear,” he said.
