However, matching a few alleles of the classic HLA genes only may not ensure matching of the entire MHC region. HLA haplotype matching has been reported to be beneficial in HSCT because of the variation relevant to GVHD risk in the non-HLA region. Because polymorphism in the MHC is highly population specific, we...
