Role of HLA-B exon 1 in graft-vs-host disease after unrelated haemopoietic cell transplantation: A retrospective cohort study
The Lancet Haematology Nov 04, 2019
Petersdorf EF, Carrington M, O'hUigin C, et al. - Via a retrospective cohort study of 33,982 persons who received an unrelated haemopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) done in Australia, Europe, Japan, North America, and the UK between Jan 1, 1988, and Dec 31, 2016, experts assessed the role of the leader dimorphism in graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) following HLA-B-mismatched unrelated HCT. The HLA-B leader notified GVHD risk following HLA-B-mismatched unrelated HCT and distinguished high-risk HLA-B mismatches from those with lower risk. The leader of the matched allotype could be recognized to be as significant, for GVHD, as the leader of the mismatched allotype. For most individuals in requirement of a HCT, prospective recognition of leader-matched donors is feasible and it could diminish GVHD and raise availability of HCT therapy. Thus, these findings are being respectively authenticated and assures additional research in prospective trials.
