Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR), or microsatellite, loci have been widely used to analyze chimerism status after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The presence of a patient's DNA, as identified by STR analysis, may indicate residual or recurrent malignant disease or may represent normal hematopoiesis of patient origin. The ratio of patient-derived to donor-derived alleles is used to...
