The 14-bp deletion in the HLA-G gene indicates a low risk for acute cellular rejection in heart transplant recipients

Background Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) is a non-classical Ib molecule in the major histocompatibility complex. HLA-G has important immunosuppressive properties, and in the context of cardiac transplantation, is associated with a low risk of cellular rejection. A 14-bp insertion/deletion polymo...
