Joint testing of donor and recipient genetic matching scores and recipient genotype has robust power for finding genes associated with transplant outcomes.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic matching between transplant donor and recipient pairs has traditionally focused on the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions of the genome, but recent studies suggest that matching for non-HLA regions may be important as well. We assess four genetic matching scores for use in association analyses of transplant outcomes. These scores describe genetic ancestry distance using identity-by-state, or genetic...
