CCR5, RANTES and CX3CR1 polymorphisms: possible genetic links with acute heart rejection.

abstract：:If ABO antigens/antibodies play any role in the pathogenesis of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), one would expect the highest incidence of GVHD in recipients of minor ABO-mismatched grafts, followed by ABO-matched grafts, and the lowest incidence in major ABO-mismatched transplants. To test this hypothesis 174 ...
