Research at Tokai University into the Genetics of GVHD

• Research Project on 800 bone marrow transplant donor/recipientpairs from the Japanese Marrow Donor Programme (JMDP) registry

• Testing of polymorphisms (SNP, MS) in 3000 candidate genes of the immune system

• Goal is to develop a tool that can reliably predict GVHD beforetransplantation, enabling doctors to take steps to stop GVHD from happening
