A novel donor-derived cell-free DNA assay for the detection of acute rejection in heart transplantation
10 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), the reference surveillance test for acute rejection (AR) in heart transplant (HTx) recipients, is invasive, costly, and shows significant interobserver variability. Recent studies indicate that donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA), obtained non-invasively from blood, is associated with AR and could reduce the frequency of EMB surveillance. The aim of this study was to...
