Digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) is a recent version of quantitative PCR (QT-PCR), useful for
measuring gene expression, doing clonality assays and detecting hot spot mutations. In …

Abstract Background and Purpose Currently there are no widely accepted guidelines for
chimerism analysis testing in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) patients. The …

Analysis of short tandem repeats (STR) is the predominant method for post‐transplant
monitoring of donor engraftment. It can enable early detection of disease relapse, level of …

This review highlights literature pertinent to chimerism analysis in the context of
hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We also conducted a survey of testing practices of …

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) following nonmyeloablative
conditioning has been extensively evaluated in patients with hematologic malignancies who …

Results Cumulative day 100 and 2-year transplant-related mortality (TRM) were 7% and
15%, respectively (day 100 TRM MRD vs. MUD 8% vs. 6%, p= ns; 2-year MRD vs. MUD …

We compared the results of chimerism analyses with real‐time SNP‐PCR to those obtained
by the classical STR‐PCR method in 135 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients …

Analysis of hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic stem cell transplantation represents a
crucial method to evaluate donor-cell engraftment. Whereas sensitivity of classical …

Little data are available on the relative merits of chimerism and minimal residual disease
(MRD) monitoring for relapse prediction after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell …

Salvage haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is considered
in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) if a matched unrelated donor (MUD) is …
