Abstract excerpt
The HLA system plays a crucial role in immune recognition, with genetic variability influencing disease susceptibility. This study examines the association between HLA evolutionary divergence (HED) scores and paediatric haematological malignancies, aiming to determine whether locus-specific HED profiles correlate with disease risk. A cohort of 89 paediatric patients (age ≤ 20) with high-resolution HLA typing (A,...
