Abstract excerpt
HLA-incompatibility between recipient and donor is conventionally assessed by counting serologic mismatches. More recently, tools quantifying differences at the amino acid level are advocated to prognosticate risk for generation of de-novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA). Using hierarchical clustering based on HLA evolutionary divergence and amino acid physiochemical unique qualities to evaluate HLA-DQ...
