Abstract excerpt
Lung transplantation (LTx) is a valid therapeutic option for selected patients with end-stage lung disease. Soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) has been associated with increased graft survival and decreased rejection episodes in solid organ transplantation. HLA-G haplotypes named UTRs, defined by SNPs from both the 5'URR and 3'UTR, have been reported to reliably predict sHLA-G level. The aim of this retrospective study was...
