Cord Blood Registry -- Confusion re: Term

There is a nationally maintained cord blood registry maintained by non-profit public cord blood banks.

There is a nationally-recognized private cord blood bank that operates under the name of Cord Blood Registry.

It is easy, when looking for information or doing cord blood research to confuse the lowercase registry with Cord Blood Registry.

As one researches cord blood and cord blood banking, it may be of value to remember the phrase "cord blood registry" can be used in different senses.
