Direct HLA Genetic Comparisons Identify Highly Matched Unrelated Donor-Recipient Pairs with Improved Transplantation Outcome
8 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
HLA matching by allele-level genotyping is largely based on genetic similarity between a few exons that encode the antigen recognition domain (ARD) of the HLA protein. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can identify HLA genetic polymorphisms in non-ARD-encoding exons, introns, and untranslated regions, but the impact of these polymorphisms on hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcome is unclear. We performed...
