Impact of CTLA4 Genotype and Other Immune Response Gene Polymorphisms on Outcomes after Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation - a Eurocord, CBC-Ctiwb-EBMT, Netcord and FMRP-USP Study
Abstract:Introduction: Donor and recipient polymorphisms of immune defense and inflammatory cytokine genes have been associated with outcomes after bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (SCT), but have not been described in the setting of umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT).
Material and Methods: We evaluated the impact of genetic polymorphisms of recipients and CBU units on survival and other CBT outcomes using the following candidate genes related to immune response: NACHT-le… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
