Abstract excerpt
Despite therapeutic advantages, double-donor (DD) HSCTs present technical problems for molecular chimerism (CHM) monitoring. These DD chimeras contain three matched DNAs, so that the genomes of donor(s) and recipient often share the same alleles. In the STR assay, shared recipient/donor alleles are common and have identical physico-chemical properties. As a consequence of the latter, they co-migrate in the same...
