Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells from unrelated donors.

TL;DR: Improved methods for transplantation may provide the opportunity to further decrease treatment-related toxicity and improve survival and the selection of compatible donors has become more effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique sequences for two HLA-DRB1 genes expressed on distinct DRw6 haplotypes.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the DRw52 family haplotypes is derived from a relatively restricted number of ancestral sequences, with diversity among DRB1 alleles within this family arising through gene conversion or recombination events.
Journal ArticleDOI

The HLA Complex in Biology and Medicine: A Resource Book

TL;DR: The importance of HLA in transplantation is highlighted in the final group of chapters, starting with an elegant essay on HLA allorecognition in the transplant model, and ending with practical issues confronted by unrelated donor registries that support blood and marrow transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease Risk Score Predicts Mortality in an Independent Validation Cohort

TL;DR: The study validates the prognostic value of the CIBMTR CGVHD RGs for overall survival and NRM in a contemporary transplantation population and can be used to predict major outcomes, tailor treatment planning, and enroll patients in clinical trials.
