Preliminary clinical experience applying donor-derived cell-free DNA to discern rejection in pediatric liver transplant recipients

Abstract Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been of major interest recently as a non-invasive marker of graft injury, but has not yet been extensively tested in children. From May to September in 2019, a total of 76 pediatric patients receiving a liver graft were enrolled and there were 27 p...
