This study suggests that certain HLA alleles might influence the incidence and severity of acute or chronic GVHD in the context of HLA-matched sibling allo-HSCT. In addition, some specific HLA alleles help predict OS in allo-HSCT recipients. These results might be helpful in estimating the incidence of aGVHD, cGVHD, and OS as well as designing personalized therapy.
