Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the interleukin 10 (IL-10)/-592*A allele of the recipient is associated with less severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and a lower risk of nonrelapse mortality after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from an HLA-identical sibling. In the present study, we examined variation in the IL-10 receptor beta gene as a further test of the hypothesis that the IL-10 pathway...
