Abstract excerpt
In allogenic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, an effect of HLA locus mismatch in allele level on clinical outcome has been clarified. However, the effect of each HLA allele mismatch combination is little known, and its molecular mechanism to induce acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) remains to be elucidated. A total of 5210 donor-patient pairs who underwent transplantation through Japan Marrow Donor...
