Abstract excerpt
We made the hypothesis that donor and recipient gene polymorphisms that drive the host response to microorganisms could be associated with infections after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). HLA-identical BMT was performed for patients with acute (n = 39) or chronic leukemia (n = 68). Genotyping was performed in 107 D/R DNA pairs for gene polymorphisms of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha] and...
