An analysis of registry data from the United Network for Organ Sharing suggests that human leukocyte antigen matching, ¬compared to human leukocyte antigens non-matching results, is a reliable ...

New research shows that patients receiving mismatched unrelated donor stem cell transplants achieve similar survival rates, regardless of HLA matching levels.

Patients with <7/8 transplants had a 1-year survival of 85.6% versus 78.6% for those who received better-matched donor cells.

This study did not confirm that UHR 12 out of 12 HLA matching increases the probability of overall survival but does demonstrate that aGVHD risk, and in certain settings TRM, is lowest in UHR ...

Background Owing to contradictory results, HLA matching in penetrating keratoplasty still is equivocal. Different surgical techniques in multicentre studies, missing risk differentiation in high-risk ...

Matching donors for stem cell transplantation demands both precision and speed, especially as requests for high-resolution human leukocyte antigen (HLA) data grow. As labs adapt to higher workloads ...
