Preliminary Data on SNP of Transplantation-Related Genes after Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the mainstream treatments for patients with hematologic malignancies. The matching status of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) between the donor and recipient is highly related to the outcomes of HSCT. Haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) has emerged as a type of HSCT for patients who cannot find a fully HLA-matched donor. In this study, we investigated whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the HLA-related genes and the genes encoding co-stimulatory molecules located on the non-HLA region are related to the outcomes of haplo-HSCT. Methods: The genomic DNAs of 24 patients and their respective donors were isolated from the peripheral blood obtained before performing haplo-HSCT. A total of 75 SNPs of th
