Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA-matched donors significantly decreases the risks of graft-rejection and graft-versus-host disease. Long-range PCR- amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used as a standalone method in clinical laboratories to determine HLA compatibility for HSCT and solid-organ transplantation. We hypothesized that an allelic dropout is a frequent...
