Abstract excerpt
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1/CD31) is one of the human minor histocompatibility antigens that are the main targets of alloreactive T-cells after hematopoietic stem cells or solid organs transplantation. In order to investigate its polymorphism in Tunisians, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs668, rs12953 and rs1131012) were selected to perform an allele and haplotype...
