Abstract excerpt
A major end point of nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the attainment of either mixed chimerism or full donor hematopoiesis. Because the majority of human genetic disparity is generated by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), direct measurement of SNPs should provide a robust tool for the detection and quantitation of chimerism. Using pyrosequencing, a rapid quantitative sequencing...
