Kidney mismatch for transplant.
Subject: Kidney mismatch for transplant.

I have seen this 2 ways, does anyone know correct way to transcribe this:

The patient's sister is living-donor related for kidney transplant. He is saying they are 2-1-2 mismatches - 2-1-2 or 2:1:2???? TIA.

Kidney transplantation question - Mismatch
Subject: Kidney transplantation question - Mismatch

The patient has had a cadaveric kidney transplant. "Her mismatch was 1, 2, 2."

I've been googling and can't figure out how to transcribe the "1, 2, 2." If it's 122, 1-2-2, 1.2.2. Any help would be appreciated.
