TL;DR: This report documents the additions and revisions to the nomenclature of HLA specificities following the principles established in previous reports.

TL;DR: HLA-DQ mismatches are associated with acute rejection, independent of HLA-ABDR mismatches and initial immunosuppression, and Clinicians should be aware of the potential importance of Hla-D Q matching in the assessment of immunologic risk in kidney transplant recipients.

TL;DR: This update is an extract of the main report that documents the additions and revisions to the nomenclature of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) specificities following the principles established in previous reports.

TL;DR: Despite the high HLAgenotype concordance rates of the software, there remains room for improvement in the assembly of more accurate consensus DNA sequences by NGS HLA genotyping software.

TL;DR: A relatively higher proportion of non-antibody mediated TRalI and possible TRALI cases in more recent years are reported, suggesting the need to further understand the role of product age and biological risk modifiers.
