New tests help prevent transplant complications
Researchers at the University of Montreal (Canada) have made a breakthrough that can help successfully perform multiple spinal cord transplants and improve the fate of patients with leukemia.
Many patients with spinal cord transplantation often experience complications of transplant rejection. According to Professor Claude Perreault, Department of Hematology at Montreal University, this is a very common serious complication that can be seen in most transplant recipients.
This reaction comes from donors. Some people who donate organs in the body can be dangerous to the recipient, while others may be safer. To understand the cause, Professor Perreault and his colleagues studied the activity of 20,000 genes in 50 donors. Researchers have discovered 17 genes that characterize donors who could be dangerous.
"We hope these 17 genes will allow an early identification of dangerous donors and non-dangerous people. This could help change the success rate and number of spinal cord transplants." , Professor Perreault said.
