Abstract excerpt
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the most common cause of poor outcomes after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), while the pathophysiology of chronic GVHD remains poorly understood. As both chronic GVHD and autoimmune disease share clinical features, we speculated that autoimmune disease-related genes might be candidate chronic GVHD-related genes. Recent large-scale cohort studies showed...
