Abstract excerpt
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a serious complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the NOD2/CARD15 gene (=NOD2/CARD15 variants) contribute to changes in host defense and subsequent alloreaction, leading to BO. We analyzed 427 donor-recipient pairs for the association of NOD2/CARD15 variants (SNP8 [Arg702Trp], SNP12 [Gly908Arg], and...
